Recent Garland threads reminded me of that little satellite forum circling DU where some of DU's cultist HillHaters fled after we supposedly "stole" the 2016 primary from them. So I dropped by to see what they were saying about the hearings. Depressing and worse even than I imagined.
Crickets.
The remnants still there have become so emotionally invested in Democratic failure that I have to assume the striking silence means the hearings are painful. Of course, though they did help elect tRump, some voting directly for him, others refusing to vote against, Democratic failure has always been their ideological lodestar.
Heavy attention to Ukraine and foreign policy instead (all negative, of course, since the Biden admin is for). Do they feel vindicated when they hear about another city smashed to rubble? Happy-thinking about 2024 when the tRumpists will vindicate them "again" by smashing Democrats?
I doubt it. Their determined doomerism has never taken them to a happy place.
