there's not much that is more harmful than questioning the legitimate outcome of a democratic election. It can, and is very likely to be a precursor for violence and destabilisation of fundamental institutions.
This is not a matter of left and right, it's a matter of truthfulness and peaceful transition of power, which is the most fundamental mechanism in any functioning state.

Questing processes when there is legitimate doubt supports democracy, "Questioning" the system when there is no evidence of wrong-doing undermines trust in a functioning system and improves democracy about as much as creationism or Flat-Eartherism improves science.
It’s also demonstrably false that there is no evidence of wrongdoing. Wrongdoing of various kinds has already been confirmed. It also doesn’t require wrongdoing to have doubt, which had also already been proven. That’s not even an open question. The open question is whether or not there may have been enough of it to affect the result. And there is room for reasonable doubt there.
What happened to make democrats turn into this authoritarian behaviour that condemns questioning of any kind? Let people insist the earth is flat, that the sun is revolving around the earth etc. You see the people believing in that stuff beneath you, so you should be able to convince them of the truth using experiments and whatnot if you're so great.
There is no legitimate outcome yet. We have a process. Parties are entitled to have their case heard. There’s not much more harmful than denying due process. This obviously isn’t a precursor for violence, just like it wasn’t in the 2000 presidential election. Just like it wasn’t with Abrams in Georgia. Keep those in mind when you say it’s not about left and right.
I don’t know what you’re referring to with respect to truthfulness, and there has been no failure to peacefully transition power, so maybe reserve that complaint for when January 20th if Biden is certified the winner and Trump goes into the Whitehouse bathroom and locks the door. I’m quite confident that you will find that the concern was unfounded, but I might be wrong.
I find it scary that sites like twitter dare to put a sticker on what they believe is fake or misleading, especially when we are talking hundreds of unique video clips and pictures showing obvious dubious actions by election officials, have a particular video been "debunked" ? Fine put on a note saying its false, but I find it dystopic that americans are fine with mega corps defining what truth is...
You have to be pretty blind not to at least think that there was some odd stuff going on in the US elections. The states have become a banana republic where the democrats have become dependent on ballot harvesting of the uneducated masses.
Two party system, every 4 years you must choose between the giant douché or the turd sandwich. The whole world is laughing at Americans and their interpretation of democracy.
Truth be told, in the current US panorama it also doesn't seem to be a "left vs right" issue. Even in the Republican party there are elements who distanced themselves away from this dumpster fire.
Libertarians, who in the US political landscape pretty much fall on the right side of the spectrum, were never in the bandwagon to begin with. They might not be numerous, but they are large enough to have been attacked for not supporting the losing candidate, thus for some reason being held responsible for his loss.
What the world is witnessing is a political movement headed by a demagogue that's fuelled by populist propaganda, and just because he used right-wing tropes to snare up a following that doesn't mean he represents "the right".
