Facts don't care about your feelings
People, or the other side, are said to decide on feelings fed by social media instead of facts and history, and the cure is to read, learn and reason: 'people are making way too many decisions from an emotional standpoint', getting 'all their information from Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram' (on the Mark Levin Show feed, Oct 16); Ben Shapiro's 'facts don't care about your feelings'.

⚠️ A story people tell, not a claim that it's true.
A motif is the shape of a story as its tellers tell it, named the way a folklorist names a tale type, so the same story told about other people, by the other side or in another year lands in the same place. Some of the claims below are true, many are false. Arguing against a story is often a story of its own, its answer (Voter fraud is answered by Voter suppression, Lawfare by No one is above the law), and we file it there; where no answer has a motif yet, the arguments against a story sit with its tellings.
