Contrast Mike Lindell with Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff is a liar. He said he had seen the evidence that would convict the President for colluding with Russia, evidence that doesn’t exist.
Lindell said he was certain the President would remain in office. That’s a faith-based claim, not a “material fact” claim. You shouldn’t punish people for being hopeful, or even trying to give others hope. However if it reaches the delusion stage we should probably talk these people back down from the ledge.
false hope is worse than no hope at all imo, because it just sets you up for a crash against the brick wall of reality. he said he knew trump would remain so he either has terrible judgement or he lied, both of which are irresponsible because thousands of people believed him. and it already has reached the delusional stage. we crossed the threshold from 'irrational hope' into straight up delusion about one month ago, halfway through december. at least a lot of people did. anyone who still thought trump could somehow be president. the idea that pence could've done anything on the 6th to give trump a 2nd term was pure delusion. anyone who thinks there's even the remotest chance that trump gets a second term now, is certifiably insane.
