Remember when some folks here on DU said the J6 Committee would be ignored

55. Well I think you missed this --

(from the main article link - https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/first-read/nbc-news-poll-57-voters-say-investigations-trump-continue-rcna43989)

And the poll finds that “threats to democracy” has overtaken the “cost of living” as the most important issue facing the country, and that the climate and health care legislation Biden signed into law last week is more popular than unpopular (42% call it a good idea, while 31% say it is a bad idea).

And in order for people to have formulated that opinion, that means that you had a significant chunk of those polled who eiither watched the J6 Committee hearings and/or heard news stories related to what happened during those hearings because that is where the majority of the coverage of that day, what lead up to it, and the aftermath, have occurred.

"Democracy" is such an esoteric concept unless you are a history aficionado or a political junke (which the majority of people are NOT), so there is some "messaging" that has gotten through from somewhere, and the hearings, along with the news coverage of them, the arrests of the violent participants, and messaging about all of this, would be the source that would cause this amount of alarm in those polled.
