To quote Zimmerman, it's a slow train coming, up around the bend.

I mentioned in response #4 that there are an increasing number of maga podcasts where the hosts and guests are turning against the felon. Just as republicans made better use of "talk radio" than Democrats did, for years they actually used the internet better. That isn't limited to the contributions of Russian military intelligence in 2016. I know that Senator Obama's 2008 campaign did an outstanding job, because of the excitement he created. But few people are Barack Obama, only one that I count, with his unique, wide-spread appeal.

However, more recently, podcasts are becoming either a, or the, most important news source for a growing number of both Democrats and liberal & progressive independents. That obviously is true for younger voters, but it's the same with us Elders. So by the summer of 2027, there will be those hearings. And a lot will happen between now and then, with one thing for certain: the felon will not gain in popularity.
