Bay of Pigs
Locals the US urges to rise against their rulers are warned they will be left to their fate when it counts, as the CIA's Cuban exiles were in 1961: Rubio's call for a 'discreet partnership with the CIA' met with 'they tried a discrete partnership back in 1962 and it didn't end well'.

⚠️ 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.
