The average voter isn't as driven by the Jan 6 insurrection and voting rights as activists. They should be but they're not. We will win or lose the 2022 election on inflation, gas prices, COVID levels and mandates, jobs, salaries and schools being opened.

As for teach-ins et al, I realize that has a great history with 60s-era civil rights and anti-war protesters, but I haven't seen any sign that they convince people who weren't already convinced.
