Right Wing Tactics

[Amarok]

One interesting tactic i have seen the right use of late whenever they try the whole "the Democrats want or believe " Democrat as an absolutist and exclusive  position on whatever they are accusing you of for example 

" Democrats are violent and are intolerant"   

When you point out many are not and violence is not exclusive position of the Democrats and is just as at home among Republicans. You are met with accusation of red herring because apparently pointing out the absolutist and exclusiveness of the statement above  is false is somehow not a counter according to them and is just a distraction despite dealing with the claim directly  .

Another one i have encountered is what i like too call the sample size essentially they take a small group of radicals then conflate it to an official democrat position. 

" Democrats want open borders"

Once again an absolutist and  exclusive statement because many Democrats don't want open borders ( and no wanting paths to citizenship for illegal immigrants  and wanting to abolish ICE does not mean open borders) and some Republicans want open borders as well so this idea it's a general Democrat position is refuted .

an absolutist and exclusive position on whatever they are accusing you of for example 

We have to be careful not to use this tactic against Christians.

Fuck all xhristards.

Over-the-top literary tropes often serve to shut down debate and may even encourage violence. 

For example if we say, "religion makes parents stay home and pray instead of taking their sick kids to the hospital," that's synecdoche. We use the term for the whole (religion) to refer to a tiny part (idiot American Christian anti-vaxxer-types). 

Or if we say, "science flies you to the moon but religion flies your planes into the World Trade Center," this is metonymy. Because it uses a large term (religion) to refer to something which is sometimes associated with that term (non-observant Muslim men enraged by violent US foreign policy). This over-simplification actually paralleled America's stupid reaction to 9-11 and allowed the government to give the hijackers all the political goals they aimed for, while still appearing tough.

If I thought that would shut up xhristards I'd start every sentence with it.

One really good example of the second tactic is using the fact that 35% of Dems support an open border while the majority  don't . Then trying to push it as a universal position without nuance. By their own logic i could take the 7% of Republican who support an open border and insist it as a universal position despite the majority rejecting it .

The problem with having a two party system is you're gonna get rather large generalizations for basically half your population.
"It's A or B" and everyone that wants "C" get's a cactus to the ass.

The right often act like they want to give someone a wedgie over the Internet.

If I'm not alarmed that a caravan of refugees is walking towards us, I must want to let them in the country with no vetting and I also must want them to spread diseases when they get here. And if I'm not against turning them all away, then I should house a refugee family in my house or I'm being a hypocrite....

Of course, I wouldn't mind a roommate who would put in a good day's work for their room and board, so it turns out that being willing to house a refugee is completely beside the point. Sigh.

If dem's should be willing to house a refugee, repub's should be willing to house an unwanted baby.
