I’ve sent one or two letters in my life. Idr how to do it but I’m sure it’s googleable.
The difference between “Jack slandered Jill” and “Jack warned the community about Jill” is evidence of Jill’s misdeeds.
The difference between “Don stole the election” and “Don rescued the rigged election” is evidence that the election was rigged.
Claiming the election had been stolen would’ve been reasonable if there’d been compelling evidence for it. Doing so without evidence is the same thing as trying to stealing the election. If Trump had succeeded in overturning the election, it would’ve been stolen. Like if Jack’s convinced everyone that Jill is wicked without evidence, he’s slandered her.

I agree that Biden’s in no shape to be president, but you’re catastrophizing. The “unelected and unaccountable group of people running the country” are the west wing staff, same as always. Staffs are elected and accountable as extensions of their respective candidates. Like in this election it’s looking like voters will boot Biden and his people.
The IDF has used administrative detention on extremist settlers, and settlers who actually murdered Palestinians have gotten life sentences (eg 2 of the 3 settlers convicted for murdering Mohammed Abu Khdeir got life and the third got 21 years). But most WB Palestinian fatalities were killed while attacking Israelis. It’s trivial to depict Israelis as the bad guys by cropping out Palestinian violence.
Last year’s Huwara pogrom, “the worst attack stemming from Israeli settler violence in the northern West Bank in decades” per Wikipedia, killed one Palestinian, hours after Palestinians had killed two settlers nearby. The IDF arrested 16 settlers, two of whom are still in administrative detention.
“Settlers kill Palestinians with impunity” is a forest which turns out to have no trees when you look for them.
