A reason is why a person made an action.
Excuse is when a person made an action that is warranted.

Pardon me? ?? Excuses can be valid or invalid. Reasons can be sound, or based on false assumptions.
And as I said earlier, adult human beings have the capacity, unless seriously mentally defective, to use their intelligence and moral values to curb what used to be called “the lower passions” - anger, greed, lust (any kind), envy, wish to harm, etc. In other words, one may feel like doing something to another including using harsh words, but curb that speech or action, using self-examination.
One may “feel” like punching an aggravating person in the snout, but an adult human being can choose whether to punch or not, and decide whether it is actually a good thing or not.
And the reason you gave for tension - the broken elections - any anger or frustration should be directed at those who facilitated, organized, planned, funded, carried out, and covered up for the stolen election.
