"The Big Lie"(tm)

I kept seeing this phrase being used in this nonstandard way, but didn't know what it was about. Dems are trying to, yet again, redefine terms for sophistical purposes. Apparently they now use 'The Big Lie' to mean: the view that there were significant irregularities in the 2020 election. The Big Lietm is the failure to accept that--though the 2016 election was TOTALLY HACKED AND STOLEN by the Rooskies, and though there were no major, relevant technological changes between 2016 and 2020, THE 2020 ELECTION WAS THE MOST SECURE ELECTION OF ALL TIME AND IF YOU DOUBT THAT YOU ARE HITLER, BIGOT.

Brian Williams (not a quote): I'm guilty of using the phrase 'the big lie' at least twice this hour...is this reasonable? 

Or does this presuppose the truth of the Democratic version of events in a way that's unbecoming to a journalist?

J/K, bigot!

Or should I be calling it something like THE VIOLENT, REBELLIOUS, TRUMPIST / EXTREME-RIGHT / WHITE SUPREMACIST ASSAULT ON THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN GOODNESS ITSELF AND EVERYTHING THAT'S HOLY?

The 1/6 riot and Trumps actions surrounding it are inexcusable. They were so far over the line that there's no even seeing the line from there. But it does matter that the left has gone much, much further over the line in many different ways in the last five years and especially the last one. They've gotten away with it all--unless you count Mueller calling bullshit on Russiagate--and they're still getting away with it. The BLM/Antifa left now routinely uses terrorism to get what it wants, and Dems are happy to defend their doing so. The progressive left and its propaganda wing the MSM relentlessly defend the violent, murderous, anarchic riots of their allies, and they've radically exaggerated the significance of the 1/6 Capitol riot. Which, again: was disgusting in the extreme and impossible to justify. 

   To take just one point of contrast: the death of George Floyd--a violent criminal, now sainted--caused a national spasm of violence and destruction. The killing of Ashley Babbitt, a veteran, has received virtually no attention from the PMSM. Chauvin is going to jail for much of the remainder of his life. He is routinely vilified. He is represented as evil incarnate. We still don't even know who Babbitt's killer was. We know he was black, and she was white... Interesting...

   These are not normal times. These are not normal disputes. None of this is even vaguely normal, nor vaguely reasonable, nor vaguely acceptable.

   Many claims made about election fraud by Trump and many conservatives are nuts. But many of them are true. I don't see any very strong reason to think that the election was stolen. But the more hysterically the left denies that it was stolen, and the more it tries to block audits, the more I'm inclined to think that it might have been and we need them.
