Permanent majority
A side is said to be one move from locking in power for good, new states admitted, the court enlarged, the Electoral College scrapped, amnesty granted, a census that counts or leaves out, so the other side could never win again and the map is set for a generation.

⚠️ 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: “Folks, this is big, big, huge trouble.” “give them amnesty and rule the country without opposition” “not only do they want to pack the Supreme Court, they also want to dump the filibuster to, in fact, pack the Supreme Court” “Now, if Texas stays blue, a Republican will never sniff the White House ever again.” “that fundamentally and structurally changes the United States of America.” “the goal the Democrats have is to take the ability for conservatives to win away.” “the presidency will be 100 years of MAGA” “Then make Puerto Rico... And what is the other place? Into a state where I can start DC and Puerto Rico into a state” “There's no way to get out.” “they also want to scrap the Electoral College system.” “They'll add D.C. and Puerto Rico as states. They'll pack the courts.” “they'll be pushing through all sorts of policies intended to make sure that Republicans cannot win again”
