The media, who act like a kind of virtue police, may have used fake documents to gain a ratings rich interview from Princess Diana.

'The louder they talked of their honor, the faster we counted our spoons.'
Is there an alternative to running a society except through narrative control and virtue signaling?
We know that God if he exists is perfectly virtuous, yet refrains from yelling at us like the people on TV. We are free to err. Freedom is somehow valued more in heaven than it is on earth. It must be more useful than we know.

The reason people "don't want to go there" or are reluctant to open a can of worms is because they fear the consequences of knowing.
There's lots of things we don't want to know because it's easier that way.
The consequences of discovering that the election was rigged are so terrifying that if it was not absolutely staring you in the face you would prefer to avoid it. For "the sake of the country" you would not go there.

In the post-election but pre-proclamation phase both camps are selling different products. One the ability to plan on a projected future; the other the stability of acceptance.

The US didn't get suddenly divided. After years of identity politics, it is hard to seriously credit denunciations of instability. If anything is surprising it was that the crash took this long.
Abusing trust is a little like printing money. Things go bad slowly than all of a sudden. “Payment Error: (15005) - Processor Decline - This transaction cannot be processed.”

It's important that the legal fight continue till it's official because the possibility of cheating is not forgiven and an issue in itself.
It's not the first nor the last time cheating is alleged. And it could victimize the Democrats too.
As a practical matter no stable political solution can be safely founded on news agency projections, not after such a bruising fight.

The decision to fight the 2020 presidential election counts to the last legal motion may not stop Biden from acceding to the WH but it will succeed in exposing cheating allegations. A significant % of the US and world will or already have concluded the election was stolen.
As Roger Simon said: "It’s an actual guarantee of chaos—and that’s what we had and have. No one will ever really know what happened."

Paradoxically it is easier for a clearly dominant player to warp the process in his favor than it is for a party at near parity or slight inferiority to attempt the same. If you try a fast one on someone as big or actually bigger than you it becomes very risky.

The left banner is poised to claim credit for what was left of the old centrists. You will not be so easily rid of them.
Maybe your best bet is your original idea: to create a self-governing society on Mars.
The other option is raise the new banner on a virtual, internal planet, which exists on earth but is a world unto itself, like the fancy hotel John Wick goes to.

Steve Bannon Twitter account suspended. Progressives will probably unleash some degree of reprisal against their foes. When you're described as "conspiracy theorist", "racist", "dangerous", "inflammatory" that's probably a hint.
Terms like this can be thought of as the pixels of the narrative. They are the units of conception deeper than which the reader is not supposed to go.  The media prides itself in being nuanced but how often do they think in cartoons?
The biggest downside to censorship, shadow banning and other methods of distortion and thought control is it destroys information. This is one of the fundamental reasons why the progs do so badly against Black Swans.
