Jan. 6 hearings a bust

 Monica Showalter:

Someone at NPR came up with the idea of finding out what voters are thinking in the swing districts, now that the Democrats' Jan. 6 spectacular, starring Liz Cheney, is in full throttle.

Oops.

To say the least, the prim Victorian-gentlemen leftists at that award-laden outfit were in for a surprise:

Kimberly Berryman lives in the countryside outside Fredericksburg, Va., but drives 20 miles to the suburbs to do her shopping. She keeps a cooler in the trunk to keep her corn cold as she travels from store to store, trying to find the best deals on groceries.

For Berryman, it's worlds away from the hearings about the Jan. 6 insurrection going on at the U.S. Capitol.

"I got other things to do," she said with a laugh.

Berryman, who works with special needs students, said she was shocked and scared by the attack at the Capitol. But she said she's more worried about price hikes and supply shortages than litigating Jan. 6.

"Just move on to something else," she said.

Berryman said she usually votes for Democrats, including Abigail Spanberger, who currently represents the competitive 7th Congressional District in Congress. But Berryman said she'll consider voting for a Republican if they do a better job addressing her concerns about high prices.

"There are people out here that really can't afford it. And I'm one of them," she said.

Voters like Berryman are testing whether Democrats can focus attention on the Jan. 6 committee's findings, while also convincing voters they're trying to address issues like rising prices. Their ability to balance that may determine if the party can get its coalition to show up in the November midterms.

 They kind of misread that in their nut graf: The lady told them she didn't care about the Jan. 6 crap. NPR said she was all concerned about whether Democrats can focus attention on both the hearings and the Bidenflation.

They must have been trying to save some semblance of their pre-determined storyline.

The reality is, inflation is not being addressed by Joe Biden and his Democrats, because Democrats don't care about it all that much, and worse still, don't have any idea what causes inflation.

...

Biden caused the inflation and does not want to admit the mistake or do anything about it. At this point, people do not care about the Jan. 6 riots and the Democrats' attempts to claim it was some kind of insurrection.  Their focus on the alleged insurrection is an attempt to block Trump from running for President again.  Whether he should be the nominee of the GOP should be left to the voters.  Democrats claim to be worried about American democracy while trying to block it when it comes to Trump.
