The more clear it becomes that the January 6th Committee is winning, the more loudly the doomsday pundits will insist it's losing. They staked themselves to the scary prediction that the committee would fail, so now they have to try to drown out its increasingly obvious success.
Once the 1/6 committee's success becomes so clear that the doomsday pundits can't even try to shout it down, they'll either 1) falsely take credit for having forced the committee to be more "aggressive" or 2) ignore the committee and move on to some other doomsday narrative.
We're facing real challenges now, which require rolling up our sleeves and putting in hard work in order to win. But the pundits can't get rating and retweets by focusing on that. So instead they stick to "clever" tweets about how inept the Democratic leadership supposedly is.
This kind of talk allows the pundits to look smarter and more clever than the Democratic leadership. It also allows them to drive an artificial wedge between you and the Democratic leadership, so they can use that resulting space to make themselves relevant.
The doomsday pundits also use parlor tricks so it doesn't look like they're sabotaging the entire Democratic Party. They insist the House, Senate, DOJ, 1/6 committee, etc, could be doing all kinds of magical things if some other random Democrat were in charge of them instead.
Of course any other Democrat put in charge would be subject to the same challenges, the same laws of gravity, etc. But the doomsday pundits always base their narratives on how everything could be fixed by magic wand, and the Democrats in charge are simply too cowardly to wave it.
