I was watching some clips of the recent committee hearings last night, and I couldn't help but feel a massive sense of déjà vu. It feels like every time a high-profile figure is called to testify lately, the goal isn't actually to find the truth or get answers. It's just a choreographed shouting match designed to get a five-second clip for social media.
It’s getting harder to stay engaged when the entire process feels so performative. I remember back in the day, you could at least hope for a civil exchange of ideas, even if people disagreed vehemently. Now, it feels like the more aggressive the confrontation, the better it plays for the cameras. It makes you wonder if we're actually moving toward accountability, or if we're just stuck in a loop of endless, noisy cycles that never actually resolve anything.
Does anyone else feel like we've hit a point of diminishing returns with these public inquiries?
