Another January 6th is upon us, and while the real significance of the day will be the certification of Donald Trump’s second term, the press is still desperately trying to make the events of four years ago a predominant narrative. The problem? No one cares.

Naturally, the same press that has treated January 6th with the same “reverence” as Pearl Harbor and September 11th aren’t pleased about that. That brings me to CNN, which kicked off the day with a panel hand-wringing over the American public’s disinterest in the subject.

SIDNER: Alyssa, do you think, though, that the right-wing sort of media landscape also played a big role in this because over time, you started seeing people say it wasn’t that violent. Donald Trump himself keeps saying it was a day of love…

Alyssa Farah Griffin went on to say she puts the onus on Republican politicians for not hyping January 6th up enough and allowing voters to build “nostalgia” for Trump’s time in office. Then S.E. Cupp stepped in to do what Democrats always do when they don’t want to admit their position isn’t popular: Blame the messaging.

CUPP: Yeah, Joe Biden made a lot of mistakes, messaging was one. Telling people that the economy was great and the migrant crisis wasn’t real, and their cities were safe. Those were mistakes, and he let his ego get in the way. 

However, there’s one thing he didn’t do. He never encouraged his supporters to go and march on the Capitol, to go and break the system, to go and break democracy, to go and break the law just so he could stay in power. His legacy isn’t going to be great or as great as I imagined he wanted it to be leaving office, but that’s one ding he will not have.

I’ve got some good news for Cupp. Donald Trump didn’t do those things either. While he did encourage his supporters to peacefully protest at the Capitol, he did not tell them to “go and break the system” nor to “go and break democracy” while violating the law. Years of investigations, including by the Democrat-led January 6th committee, never produced an ounce of evidence that the incoming president planned for a riot to break out. 

Next up was Jim Acosta, he did exactly what you’d expect. 

ACOSTA: Regaining power and reigniting fears. In just hours, Congress will meet to certify President-Elect Donald Trump’s 2024 election win four years to the day after a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol, smashing windows and doors, brutally attacking police officers, and shocking the nation.

Nothing is more emblematic of the bubble the press resides in than the idea that Americans are “fearful” of Trump’s return to office. If that were true, he wouldn’t have been elected to a second term. The truth is that most people just care about the economy and the safety of their communities. People like Acosta may have the luxury of continuing with the dramatics over something that happened four years ago, but the rest of the country has moved on, and justifiably so.

Democrats don’t want to accept that, though.

No, there would not have been another “bloodbath” had Harris won because there was never a bloodbath in the first place. The only person whose death has ever been definitively and directly linked to January 6th was Ashli Babbitt, and she was a Trump supporter shot by police.

It’s also completely untrue to say that Democrats respect elections. Many of them voted against certifying the 2016 and 2004 elections, and that’s just this century. The history of the Democratic Party denying elections goes back much further. 

But again, the bigger point here is that no one cares. Americans want cheaper groceries and to be able to buy a house. They aren’t prioritizing the virtue-signaling of left-wingers in Washington over their own well-being. That shouldn’t shock anyone, though it seems to be mind-blowing for the mainstream press and Democrat politicians.
