Complete and Total Endorsement

A leader blesses his candidate in stock superlatives, the best attorney general in the country, strong on the border, will never let you down, and the blessing is offered as the whole case: Trump's Complete and Total Endorsement, given on Truth Social to loyal candidates race after race and at the rally for Ken Paxton.

⚠️ 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.
