In college, I was sent out to cover a town v. gown court dispute for the campus newspaper. When I got the edited copy back, three different sentences were circled in red pen. In the margin was scrawled, “Prove it or lose it!” I’m pretty sure if Speaker Johnson had tried to turn in “We all know — intuitively — that a lot of illegals are voting…” his prose would have suffered a similar fate.

"We all know" and "it's common sense that" are two of the phrases people with no proof use as a way of saying "you can't see it because you're stupid".
