50/50 any of them show at all.

All the Democrats have is "But the rules say you have to!" against people who don't care about the rules.

About People so Courpt they Covered up Trump's Collusion with War Criminal Vladimir Putin, and installed a Supreme Court to take away Women's Rights!
 
Poor Trump; he claims yet another 'hoax' perpetrated against him by the evil Democrats at a rally for Liz Cheney's opponent:

Trump calls Capitol attack an ‘insurrection hoax’ as public hearings set to begin

“As one of the nation’s leading proponents of the insurrection hoax, Liz Cheney has pushed a grotesquely false, fabricated, hysterical partisan narrative.”
“Look at the so-called word insurrection, January 6 – what a lot of crap.”

At the rally in Wyoming , Trump appeared to lament the treatment of those arrested for taking part in the Capitol attack, while falsely claiming that anti-fascist and Black Lives Matter movement anti-racism activists “have killed plenty”.

“Look what they are doing to these people,” he said.

What a moron.
 
I am waiting for the smoke to clear from the committee's investigation. I have seen reports that one or two high-ranking Republicans have stated that Trump made statements to them to the effect that he wanted the riot to continue a bit longer. If there is credible evidence that Trump said this, I would hope that the GOP would repudiate him and expel him from the party.

The members of the GOP that are still traditional Republicans have dwindled to a small minority.

I hope traditional GOP members that remain recognize that to revive their party or rather to take it back, they might just want to vote for a few Democratic Party candidates until they can snuff out the Rump cult that invaded their party. Otherwise they might end up regretting what they let happen to democracy in this country.

I quite the Republicans in 2008, I couldn't be part of the Cult any longer, knew they were nuts, and that they were too close to Putin, and Russia Propaganda even back then.
Couldn't vote for them in 2012 either because Romney bent his knee to Trump for his endorsement, that showed me Romney was just another politician and wouldn't make a good President, but he would have been better than Trump.
I don't ever plan on going back to that party, I may quite voting all together no point in it anymore.

If you don’t want to vote Democrat or Republican, why not vote for a third party?

Helping them hit the 5%-of-the-vote threshold for federal funds may help the nation.

Maybe it's just me but if I felt that my vote didn't matter when picking which of the only 2 candidates who could win, I would consider it even more pointless to vote for someone I knew with certainty could not win.
 
This Slate article is mostly about the Jan 6 investigation. It looks like some interesting things will happen soon.

Trump’s Very Bad Summer Is About to Get Much Worse (slate.com)
If May’s news was any indication, this select committee’s hearings will tell an even more chilling story—beginning, middle, and end—about how a criminal conspiracy nearly ended our democracy. Full awareness of what happened is critical because the former president and his Republican allies are currently working overtime to subvert future elections so they can determine electoral results even if they lose the vote in 2024. A story like the one the committee is hopefully set to tell can help create the vision for, and a broad commitment to, our future as a republic.

SOME GOP may watch the hearings but none of the die hard MagaHats will see or hear anything other than 'it's a witch hunt out to get the GOAT Prez' mostly coming from Fox et al right-wing pundits. They'll believe what Tucker, Pirro, Ingraham, etc. tell them. Willful blindness is an extraordinary psychological phenomenon and it's rampant in the right wing.

 
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four other charged with seditious conspiracy:
The Justice Department on Monday charged the head of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, and four other leaders with seditious conspiracy in the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, escalating the criminal case against the far-right extremist group.

These are the most aggressive charges brought by the Justice Department against the Proud Boys, and are the first allegations by prosecutors that the group tried to oppose by force the presidential transfer of power.

These developments come after Charles Donohoe, a Proud Boy from North Carolina, pleaded guilty in April and agreed to cooperate with the investigation. He was not named in Monday’s indictment.

The Justice Department has brought one other seditious conspiracy case against the leaders of the Oath Keepers, who are accused of extensively planning and preparing for violence on January 6.

At this point 3rd parties split the vote and that can be with disastrous results like the Iraq war.
