"Election deniers" is an inaccurate description.
They're fraudsters and seditionists, pure and simple. All of their efforts in 2020 were to effectively overthrow the US government by fraudulently handing the election to Trump, and since they failed, all of their efforts since then have been to try to make it so that they can succeed in 2024.
Fuck the unAmerican, unpatriotic assholes for cheating and stealing the very foundations of our ideals. This is what happens when these people weren't held accountable for January 6th and the first attempt to overthrow our government. If they had been held accountable, they would not be able to hold government positions and oversight positions over the very things they tried to overthrow. They should have been charged with felonies and lost their right to vote, quite honestly.
We've depended upon the courts to prevent the next insurrection, but they see either already corrupt as we're seeing with the SC, or they're toothless due to lack of precedent in this.
We're sleep walking into another civil war and the result will not depend upon right or wrong, but will be dependent upon who wields the power and weapons. We can't depend upon the government or the military doing the right thing as trump will get rid of all the barriers that existed 4 years ago.
