Many people snickered at the claim made in Texas v. Pennsylvania that there is only a one in a quadrillion chance that Joe Biden won all the swing states as currently claimed. The true meaning beneath the statistic is simple: the vote counts certified in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia are fake, so let's cut through all the noise and decide what to do next. "One in a quadrillion" is a rarified way of saying it just didn't happen.
Texas's case was shot down because in the United States both grammar and logic have been overtaken by rhetoric.
The old trio: Grammar, logic, and rhetoric
Rhetoric is not the same thing as logic or grammar. Philosopher Richard Weaver championed rhetoric as a tool to share truth rather than skirt it. But ever since the ancient birth of "sophistry," there have been rhetoricians who see logic and grammar as disposable tools to support a primary rhetorical agenda. (Some call this, basically, propaganda.)
When people ask you, "how can 95% of doctors be wrong?" or "how can all the courts be wrong?," you should keep in mind that the overemphasis on rhetoric has been universal in colleges since the 1980s, even in Christian and conservative colleges. Professional degrees in medicine and law followed undergraduate degrees in which rhetoric, rather than literature, was used to teach people writing. This was the fruit of the endless battles over "general education" requirements.
Consider some stupid ideas that have attained a consensus in the worlds of medicine and law.
The same medical community that concluded that racial justice rallies were not dangerous during a COVID pandemic but patriotic rallies were also concluded that there is no purpose to indicating on birth certificates whether someone is male or female.

And that was before my 3rd cup of coffee.;-)
And when you have a population, half of which has been brainwashed by the media, it is even easier to feed them lies which confirm what their indoctrination has led them to believe.

Precisely so! Which is why I think we’re doomed! The media and the corrupted education systems, IMHO are unbeatable. And I’m usually thought of as an OPTIMIST!
Just wondering when the ‘Miss Me Yet’ paraphernalia will arrive at the scene with Trumps picture.

Hell, I already saw that swag online a week ago!
The actions tell you that they know they cheated, and they are scarred that they can’t do it again, so Donald Trump must be dis-allowed from running again because they won’t be able to stop him.
Not only that, but now Trump knows and we know
and payback is a b*tch.
Many were run over by that rhetorical truck.

Interesting post. Thanks.
The Leftist DemocRAT/Media complex dismisses any accusation of a stolen election as being “without evidence” while they actively suppress the substantial evidence that is already available.

Well and truly said, but let’s not forget the RINOs and the so-called “conservatives” over at the SCOTUS! Oh, and also the vast majority of the professoriate in our academic community!
That said, I think there are reasons to be optimistic, though I think we have a real war ahead of us. It is important to keep in mind that reality itself works against--erodes--brainwashing.
Realism is a much sturdier mindset than one based on a system of indoctrination of untruths.
There...I feel better just for having acknowledged that.;-)
Dominion voting machines got Slow Joe into office.

Actually it would be more accurate to say that the DVMs were the tools used by the corrupted Deep State, which of course includes the Democratic Party the RINO cabal, the Federal alphabet agencies, the media, and the Professoriate of our academic community! And probably others I’ve overlooked!
When somebody buys a Powerball Lottery Ticket they have a one in 292,000,000 chance of winning. If they buy two Lottery Tickets, they have a two in 292,000,000 chance of winning.
The actual odds are each Ticket has a 292,000,000 chance of winning, no matter how many you buy.
Some People think that if you by two Tickets, you have a one in 146,000,000 chance of winning. Using that Logic, you buy three Tickets and those odds become a one in 73,000,000 chance of winning. It goes on from there.
It just doesn’t work out that way in reality, much like Joementia winning the November Election.
However, logic, grammar and rhetoric are racist constructions of white privilege (sarcasm)

Ah, you probably didn’t need the /s!
The article fails to take on the critical issues directly.
The mangling of language and wholesale advancement of political religion has indeed facilitated Joseph Stolen’s rise to power.

Yes, so true, and I feel better having read it. Thanks!
Agree.. Payback is a B#tch.
The audience has no clear understanding of conjunctions, prepositions, articles, or subordinate clauses. One can transform any phrase rhetorically into the opposite of what it means grammatically.Case in point: the Second Amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.The sentence directly and unambiguously states that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The reason for it, despite the antiquated use of a comma before the verb, is that the verb "shall not be infringed" can only be combined with the subject "the right", thus forming the dominant clause, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
