The True Big Lie

The entire case against Trump and his fellow defendants in the 2020 election-interference prosecutions can't even get off the ground unless it is more or less evidently true that the election was not stolen.

The fact of the matter is that it's not unreasonable to believe that the election was stolen, and consequently it isn't possible for it to be evidently true that the election was not stolen.

There is no case against Trump and his confreres insofar as it's reasonable to believe that the 2020 election was stolen.

Begging the question is the central feature of the idea that it's unreasonable to believe the 2020 election was stolen - given the pre-election irregularities, the bellwether county anomalies, and the unbelievable voting ratios in the ballots arriving in the several days after Election Day.

Now, since Trump's adversaries clearly take for granted that it is downright unreasonable to believe that the 2020 election was stolen, they should, one and all, support the analogous first proposition above, the fanatical one.

So here's a question for William Barr and Steve Calabresi, both of whom are broadly supportive of the Trump indictments: Do you think it's unreasonable to believe that biological males competing in women's sports is unfair to women? If not, why not? After all, based on your public declarations in the aftermath of the Trump indictments, you apparently think it's unreasonable to believe that the election was stolen, as opposed to merely thinking it's reasonable to believe that the election was not stolen.

Since the government didn't seriously investigate the 2020 election, we aren't able to know - in the sense of having a justified true belief - whether the election was stolen or not.
