He should be held accountable for his actions, just like anyone else. The problem, as I see it, is that he'll be so broke by the time this is done that Dominion won't be able to recover any damages.

I just think he's cut from a different kind of crazy than Trump. Trump knows he's lying, and he doesn't care. I don't think Lindell does, and he's probably got a serious psychological block from accepting contrary evidence. I know he's seen it, but he may be incapable of absorbing it.

This is true for many conspiracy theorists. Talk to people who think the earth is flat, vaccines cause autism, the Apollo landings were faked, or that voting for Trump was a good idea. They can't wrap their heads around the falsity of their beliefs. Evidence is dismissed as lies told by their opposition.

Seriously - there's a video on Youtube showing someone taking some flat-earthers to the South Pole, where they saw with their own eyes the sun making a circle in the sky during the Austral winter. This is impossible if the earth is flat and Antarctica is some sort of land barrier surrounding the disk. But rather than convincing anyone, the video spun off a whole lot of responses showing why it had to have been faked.
