@Bagger.
That's what people do when they know that if they engage with an argument honestly, they will lose. They will repeat your comment, add in a detail that you didn't mention, then present it as if that was what you said.
I believe they call that a straw man.
Normal person: "Stricter border controls would help prevent the spread of disease."
Far-left ideologue: "So what you mean to say is Mexicans are diseased!?"
Normal person: "That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said."
Far-left ideologue: "Racist...! BIGOT......! NNNNAAAAZZZIIIIIIIIIIII!"
Normal person: *exasperated sigh and face-palm* |
