What they're doing is greater than voter suppression and has been shown WORLD WIDE to positively affect elections in the favor of those who enact them.
I don't even know for sure that arrests and convictions of major 1/6 figures will break through sufficiently to public awareness, but it could take some of the worst figures out of the running directly. Any number of Republican members of Congress should be in jail right now.
I agree, it would take a wall to wall blitz of 75% of US media for a month for the arrest by DOJ of GQP pols to break through.
This is an all hands on deck issue were too many rational and credible people are screaming there's something NOT happening and getting "be patient" worn out response again.
