Costa acknowledged that despite his reporting on the January 6th insurrection and its serious implications for democracy, many voters did not view it as grave. He reflected on his personal journey, noting how Republican and centrist voters seemed largely unaffected by the events, suggesting a disconnect between what some journalists see as crucial moments in American history and how the electorate perceives them.
King expressed disbelief at the lack of voter backlash against Trump's behavior, questioning how those who witnessed the violence of January 6th could still support him. This illustrates the deep polarization within the electorate and highlights the challenge for observers trying to make sense of a political landscape where significant events fail to sway voter sentiment.
