    They didn’t just deny the election. The took steps to overturn the will of the people! No one should cares that they lied. Politicians lie all the time. You should only judge them based on their actions, because they never do what they say/promise. What they actually did was submit electors that were not voted for. They tried to remove, add, and change votes. They tried to change laws without going through the legal process. They used government resources to achive the overthrowing of democracy.

      I mean, lying is an action that we also shouldn’t tolerate. Though I agree there are bigger things to focus on right now.
