(The Guardian) Biden calls 2020 election denialism 'the second Lost Cause'
With the interruption by protesters behind him, Joe Biden has warned that the effort by Donald Trump and his allies to insist, without evidence, that the 2020 election was fraudulent amounts to a “second Lost Cause”.
In American history, the Lost Cause is used to refer to a belief that the Confederacy’s secession was justified, and not tied to the preservation of slavery. Most historians regard the theory as not supported by facts.
“Now, we’re living in an era of a second Lost Cause,” Biden said. “Once again, for some of this country trying, trying to turn a loss into a lie, a lie which, if allowed live, once again, (will) bring terrible damage to this country at this time. A lie that’s about the 2020 election.”
