⚠️ 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.
🗣️ In so many words
the words that carry it
💬 the tellers' own words: “If you see this we IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without explanation” “Post something FAT for a happy and successful November!” “Post something FAT for a happy and successful November! The fatter, the better!” “Post something random or you’ll have an awful November” “Post something random so you'll have a good November.” “Post something random, or you’ll have an awful November.” “QRP with a character smarter than vibe coders” “Quote repost with a photo from whatever device you’re using without explanation” “Show us who is really running your BlueSky:” “Show us who's really running your Bluesky:”
