Strawman politics
Should the government take our guns away?
Should everyone get free healthcare? Should that include “illegals”?
Should we have open borders?
Why are the Democrats trying to steal the 2016 election?
Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you the idea of an implied strawman. Questions like those above imply a strawman position that no credible person is taking in order to make poor arguments about the validity of an opposing viewpoint.
Gun control isn’t about taking all the weapons away, despite what Beto says. It’s about having rational barriers in place.
There is no such thing as free healthcare. And healthcare program will get paid for by taxes and a super majority of people getting government funded healthcare will be contributing to it.
And so on and so on.
Also, do yourself a favor, before asking a question, or before answering one, do your damn homework and get informed about how things actually work.
And if someone corrects your misunderstanding of how things work, say thank you.
Is that so hard?
