Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is politics, who cares about a few people doing bad stuff... If the shit hits the fan, you want to know the political stance of all the citizens, and who the troublemakers will be, if something large is happening. ...and for that, it's enough to know which political sites they're visiting, even if you don't know the content itself.
The fan was hit Jan 6 and no one in power really cared.
Very few of the capitol-riot criminals (because I totally agree that they committed a bunch of crimes, and are absolutely criminals) were armed, even with the makeshift weapons seen in the previous year's street riots. And they weren't going to hurt anyone because the capitol police and the secret service were preparing the evacuation while Trump was still talking blocks away. Not because they legitimately feared a coup, but because it's just general safety protocol to not sit around and wait for a demonstration or a riot to walk up to you.
Following that you saw the Democrats care as hard as they could. Some are still caring now. But the message didn't resonate with anyone other than their base - it cost them moderate democrat support and hardened moderate republicans again them. They largely stopped because the voters said "It's a non-issue, we don't believe it as told". (I present this as a self-evident fact, despite having seen poles supporting it, because we all know nobody stops beating on an effective drum.)
