We all have our biases. We can believe with all our hearts that our biases are true. But, if the facts do not back up our biases, then we are dealing in delusion.
For example, when over 60 Court Judges declare the Trump supporter biases to be false, and not backed up with facts, some may still cling to their biases. They believe in their Leader. Yes, it is very much like a cult.
However, when 60 Court Judges, some of them appointed by Mr Trump, say that the state election officials were not dishonest, and were not working for the other side, and counted the votes accurately, sometimes more than once or twice, then it may be time to re-evaluate our biases? The count remained virtually the same in all counts. Those are the facts. And the Judges ruled on the side of the facts.
If we do not accept the ruling of elected Judges, then we are choosing to go beyond the rules of law. When the Judges rule, it usually has high standing in our country. If one person believes these Judges are wrong, then he/she has a right to appeal to the Supreme Court, if they believe so strongly that their biases are "real facts", and everything else is "fake news".
If the Supreme Court rules, or does not believe it merits a ruling, that is the present final decision. (Perhaps there will be a similar or related appeal in the future?) So, if the cult chooses to believe their Leader over election officials and Federal Judges, our country will continue to be held hostage to their delusions? We cannot simply ignore the law and the Courts.
We all have our biases.

Most recently was a court blocking Bidens restaurant stimulus that was supposed to prioritize women and people of color
