The real skill was not in the cover-up (which left a ton of breadcrumbs) but in browbeating the American public into accepting and ignoring it.

Greatest magic trick ever under the sun

Perfectly executed, skillfully done

To be fair, most Americans don't believe the official 'lone gunman' narrative: https://news.gallup.com/poll/165893/majority-believe-jfk-kil...

But what can anybody do about it?

Not electing the guy who probably helped plot the assassination to the office of POTUS would have been a start. There's a whole lot of daylight between "he wasn't killed by a lone gunman" and actually taking some minimal steps to identify and oppose the people responsible.

While the majority doubt the lone gunman narrative, I don't think there is any majority consensus beyond that. People have loads of different theories, different ideas for who the perpetrators were or what their motivations might have been. It's easy to say that something should be done, but actually getting that something done is another matter.

The people most likely to have done this have probably left FAR larger trails of other malfeasance and we choose not go after them anyway.

Look at the gigantic trail of stuff surrounding Trump.

Why have we not purged the ENTIRE New York FBI field office as being compromised?

At this point, the JFK assassination is a nice distraction to make sure the people who might dig up inconvenient modern, relevant malfeasance are left digging somewhere else.
