From a purely dispassionate standpoint, you have to appreciate the deviousness and political skill that they applied to exploit this situation to their own benefit. Trump was totally outplayed. You had an election that the majority of voters believed was suspect and it looked like the injured party were actually going to try and do something about it. My understanding was that they were in session specifically so that objections could be raised and the investigations could continue. To go from that difficult position to having the session cancelled and anyone in disagreement basically categorized as a domestic terrorist was one of the cleverest pieces of political theatre I've ever witnessed. Machiavelli would be proud. The republicans learnt a harsh lesson on that day - what will to power truly is. Many people are still paying the price for that miscalculation. The real tragedy isn't so much that the problem won't go away - it shouldn't go away - everyone has seen the true face of the political system now, they can't forget it. The real tragedy is the damage it has done to the political system, that it will lead to extremely severe consequences down the road, and that those consequences have been anticipated and will be manipulated just as skillfully as Jan 6th was in all likelihood, which will lead to a further diminishing of political integrity.
