It doesn't cost them anything to lie.
In the real world, if you lie about anything on an employment application, even if they discover it ten years later, you STILL might get fired.
If you lie on your taxes, you might do time or have a large fine, and they might garnish your wages or take your stuff and auction it off.
If you lie in court under oath, it's a crime.
If you lie to police they will use it against you in court.
If you lie to a grand jury you could get sent up the river.

So far, what has The Big Lie COST any of these clowns?
Not a goddamn thing.
And I don't understand how they can get off scot free when these lies are costing everyone else a lot, and where these lies could very well trigger wars.

These lies, these BIG LIES, may wind up costing a great many more people their very lives if pushed hard enough, a great many more than the lives that were sacrificed at the US Capitol on January 6th.
And still, in a country which claims to be a nation of laws, peddling these Big Lies that do such massive harm to society, peace and the general Welfare, cost these liars NOTHING.

So how do we go about seeing to it that they do cost them?
Suggestions other than kicking their asses from here to Kingdom Come in a civil war would be much appreciated because I am pessimistic enough that I'm accepting the fact that the war is inevitable.
And just like 165 years ago, it is even doubtful that doing that horrible deed would stop the Big Lie.
No, it has to COST the individuals who spread these lies very dearly on a personal level.
We have to do whatever it takes to make it a crime to knowingly peddle dangerous lies for the express purpose of beating democracy to within an inch of its life.
Otherwise we might as well set the Constitution on fire right now, the one our families and ancestors fought, bled and died to defend.
