It's a tactic called label shaming, that is designed to create an ingroup and an outgroup. It can't be reasoned with. You either have the correct opinion or you get the label. It can only be removed if the outgroup changes their opinion and becomes part of the ingroup. The left does this all the time, and it's by design. If you've read Foucault's analysis of power and knowledge, you would understand this phenomenon, but since you're just repeating what you are told, you trot out your LOLs and your labels, confident that you hold the correct "fact" opinion. It's such a neat little tool for manipulating the masses. It removes nuance and accountability in favor of being on the "right side of history." AKA superciliousness.

I'm sure this will be dismissed, though, as some type of conspiracy or illusion, right?

Dude.
Foucault was a hard leftist and he was wrong.
There is more to claims of fact than their implications for power structures.
Claims of fact are foremost true or false and the power structures (and sentient beings who believe the claims) can deal with it.
Your claims of fact about the 2020 election are mostly false. Deal with it.
