What can be the consequences for a politician getting their supporters to feel like they are “fighting” something that is exaggerated or just a lie?

What can be the consequences?That politician wins the election. That's how the first amendment works.
However...

What do you think the consequences for 51 former intelligence officials, who coordinated with the Biden campaign, to issue a letter discrediting the reporting that President Biden’s son had abandoned his laptop at a computer repair business; Signatories of the letter falsely suggesting that the news story was part of a Russian disinformation campaign, should be? Spare me some vacant tortuous disclaimer. These people intentionally interfered with the election with false propaganda.

Would public hanging be enough?

I'm guessing just the targets suing for reckless endangerment. If they're still alive.

so far nobody has been arrested although it could because of the two tier justice system we have. Democrats always get a pass.

Apparently the consequence is now people are having their tesla's vandalized and burned thanks to the violent rhetoric of the left.

The consequence for the politician is that he/she will be successful.
