So glad you addressed the Logical Fallacies. IMO this is a huge part of their playbook. Here are five common fallacies they use regularly.

1. Appeal to Authority: using the opinion or position of an authority figure or institution of authority in place of an actual argument.

2. Ad hominem: attacking your opponent's character or personal traits in an attempt to undermine their argument.

3. Slippery slope: asserting that if we allow A to happen then Z will consequently happen too; therefore, A should not happen.

4. Appeal to emotion: manipulating an emotional response in place of a valid or compelling argument.

5. Strawman: misrepresenting someone's argument to make it easier to attack.
