> if you don't force the VP to vote himself back into office, the President won't be able to stop children from being raped. Extreme framing that makes it easy to dismiss. There are people who think this recent election had some very fishy stuff going on, but are not buying the lunatic fringe, q-anon type of stuff.

'Extreme framing' represents the actual tipping point that resulted in the actual actions (and arguments) being criticised. (Same goes for other examples: Germany has actual laws rather than mere Facebook policies concerning holocaust denial because it views the slippery slope towards Naziism as more plausible and dangerous than the slippery slope towards a unified state version of history) As for people with concerns about 'fishy stuff', they've been granted plenty of prime time TV hours to talk about it, had fifty lawsuits thrown out by judges often politically aligned with them and are happily posting all over the Internet without fear of any consequences whilst elected officials loudly advocate their cause. Suffice to say this is not the experience of the average 1950s communist or pornographer. I'm not convinced that the existence of more nuanced arguments about elections means social media should be obliged to broadcast Donald Trump declaring that he won a landslide victory without challenge or Lin Wood making Trump look rational, which all too many 'free speech' arguments have been devoted to.
