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

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.
