Two faces
A public figure's private words, a letter or note never meant to be seen, turn out warm and gracious where his public ones are cruel, and the gap is told as two men in one: the private face read as the one he hides from his base, or doubted as never his at all.

β οΈ 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.
