Don't Panic! Lighten Up!
"This is a very dangerous situation," said Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer. "We work hard every day to make sure Americans all have all the correct opinions. With thousands of hours of footage being given to the American public with no filter, we're in grave danger of some people not agreeing with us, or worse — not giving us politicians more and more unchecked power. This is an existential threat to democracy."
Mitch McConnell, another Democrat Senator, agreed. "I'm terrified right now," he said. "What if everyone starts thinking we're lying frauds? I'm not saying we are, but it would be terrible if people came to such a scary — and unapproved — conclusion."
Experts also weighed in, warning that if unapproved opinions are allowed to spread, it may lead to unapproved leaders being elected for unapproved reasons. "As experts, we wouldn't approve of this," said one expert.
At publishing time, Democrats released findings from the intelligence community stating the Jan 6 tapes were unapproved Russian disinformation.

It would have been better, maybe:
As Schumer stood at the podium, surveying his audience, he began: "Look at us, Democrate and Republibox, working together to make your life safe and empty of thinking. We have done all of the heavy lifting for you, that is why the 40,000 hours of tapes simply confuses you and leads to "cognitive dissidence" which can give you a migraine headache.
Think about what we have done for you. We hired a trusted Hollywood producer to create this montage of selected information for you. He has worked in the movies, my god. That makes him trustworthy. All you have to remember is Trump caused this insurrection. Let me repeat that, Trump caused this insurrection that led Sicknick to get sick and die."
