Timothy Snyder offers a valuable factual summary of the Jan. 6 committee report. He prefaces the report by stating,
"It is very easy, when a long report is released, to underplay its basic findings. There is a temptation to act as if something is not shocking if we have heard part of it before, as though this were a mark of political sophistication. The American tendency to normalize threats to democracy is also present in retrospect."
