When people are acting out insurrection in the United States simply because their candidate lost an election it's clear that these people have been radicalised. They are no different from Shamima Begum and her ilk going out to fight for Isis - they've gone down the rabbit hole of radicalisation that they are detached from obvious, observable reality. The most extreme Trump supporters will not believe the word of the independent judiciary. Karl Rove - Republican strategist - told Fox News that while 'hanky panky' inevitably happens in any election the idea that someone could steal a US election was ridiculous. The Supreme Court of the United States - with 6 Justices appointed by Republicans - had no interest in hearing the case.
Only a Trump concession, which would never
ever happen, would placate them.
