In 2020, the total voting-aged population in the US was 252,274,000 (a little over 75% of the population). Of those, only about 64% actually voted. The 20 million who watched the Jan 6 hearings only represent 1/8 of that population (12.5%). I wonder what the impact might actually be. My guess is, not significant. Brand loyalty will likely trump fealty to the Constitution and the country.
