Will there be any consequences for those who pulled this hoax?
Not negative consequences. Not for them. They will get positive reinforcement, and so will continue their high crimes and misdemeanors.
There really should absolutely be consequences. Problem is the people behind it are running things and run the institutions needed for justice.
If you can’t use the system, you have to go outside the system somehow. And it quite possibly would not be pretty.
The system has collapsed! But as the author of this piece says in so many words, we have to keep going to survive. So until an organized army is ready to retaliate against the enemies of virtuous government, we just sweep it all under the carpet.
And, as for our enemies, many of them have been so brainwashed into believing that good old America was always just a testament to white supremacy (after all, math and science are racist) that they are willing to turn a blind eye to the crimes their own allies are committing.
Ya gotta hand it to the Left. They have--by hook and/or crook--jockeyed themselves into power.
All that said--and unfortunately for the Left--they are learning that governing takes more than just accumulating power. It also takes effective governance.
Just as the Left destroyed America's legitimate system with their theft of elections, their own system will now collapse under the weight of their incompetence.

Because the answer, so far, is ‘no’, there is much vicious humor being spread about.
This one is creative, well-done, and quintessentially Brit.
I believe the Court of Public Opinion is in session and the sentence will eventually be handed down and enacted by same.
The perpetrators and enablers will beg for a judicial trial, but no one has any faith in the judicial system anywhere.
