The actual issue is that 90% of "falsehoods" aren't proven as false by the WOKE gatekeepers of modern discussion...but with certainty, they label and dismiss them as "falsehoods" when the cognitive dissonance of their personal politics kicks in.

Then they say "the burden of proof lies on you", but considering that digging up proof on these types of things (in the short term) often relies on further discussion and research, it's kind of a catch-22 to continue the debate.

Latest case in point: Covid was a super-virus created in a lab with funding personally approved by Fauci (who is now enriching himself from the debacle)....and made it's way out of the lab and into the general population.

Next case in point: The 2020 election machines actually were hacked, and results were tampered with. Gasp! Censor that wrong-think!

I'll assume you believe the things you cite. Geez, "cognitive dissonance of their personal politics" indeed. The "evidence" given by Giuliani et al about the hacks are so fucking flimsy, only the Trumpers can say they're legitimate. They claim "this footage shows" even without no smoking gun shenagians to be seen in them.

If the "legitimate" election results should've gone to Trump, that would mean team Biden tampered with hundreds of thousands of ballots. That scale of tampering is very hard to hide, but so far no solid evidence has been unearthed. Is it a few people, or many people? If it's many people, somebody usually blurts out something and the conspiracy is unravelled. If it's just a few people, how do they manage to tamper with hundreds of thousands of ballots? Footage of people handling small boxes can't account for the amount of fraud that's being alleged.
