It was an excuse to validate inaction. Nobody actually cared about the election anymore at this point because so many foreign agents have spent so many years just pouring tons of resources into amplifying both sides of our every social issue, no matter how silly or minor, until people stopped taking a position, people just tuned out because there didn't seem to be anyone reasonable, anywhere, and we all have to survive. There are just so many hours in the day for fact-checking, and a quarter of America is functionally illiterate anyway.
On some level people knew they were just checking out and throwing the game, so that's why they clung to so many weak, frankly fucking stupid arguments against Harris.
