If my grandmother had wheels she’d be a tea trolley.

Right now the reality is the Donald Trump is going to take office because a lot of people didn’t vote for the alternative.

All the ‘what if…?’ games in the world isn’t going to change that.

Minimization.

Red herring.

This is a bit better than typical nonsense because there’s two tactics in a sandwich. Next is usually ad hominem. But, this one may have another trick up their sleeve.

Simply naming fallacies isn’t teaching. The point of learning fallacies isn’t so that you can just name them and feel like you’ve made a point.

I asked a question. I received a fallacy sandwich in return. There’s no point in investing further.

You’re going to have to explain that in detail. Trump got more votes. He won. How is that anything except a cold, hard fact?
