Agreed. We also widely misuse the terms socialist, communist, traitor, inciting a riot, sedition.......

And, we throw around terms when applying to the other side meant to be negative--cabal, fellow travelers...

As I have said before, it is comical how the right can take an abstract concept and turn it into a bumper sticker cliché, "freedom" is the one that always cracks me up, it's against my "freedom," closing down the Golden Coral Buffet violates my "freedom"

Most conservatives on this forum are very stupid.

Bigotry seems to be the only public policy right wingers have.

So the Washington Compost has articles about JPP now?

'Nazi" referred to a specific political party in Germany that was destroyed in WW2. It was based on socialism and fascism.
Fascism is government manipulation of markets. It is a form of socialism. It is not a political party or a form of government. It is an economic system, based on theft of wealth.

It is what the Democrats want.

Nope. It simply reduces your choices. Go find somewhere else to eat.

You DO do that a lot, don't you? Maybe you should address this problem of yours.

It's obviously because Trumptards are too stupid to look Big Words like Fascist and Nazi up in the dictionary!

Inversion fallacy.

I don't know why "fascism" is supposed to be a BIG WORD. Anyone who graduated from high school should have studied this.

Inversion fallacy.

I don't think so. Right wingers seem to have nothing going on but that. Where is y'all's infrastructure position? What happened to healthcare reform Your guy said he had?

His standard reply. Comes off his list of fallacy types. It's all he has.

Properly identifying fallacies is useful in any debate forum.

Most conservatives on this forum are very stupid.

Well, if we take this as true, and "very stupid" has been coopted to describe Conservatives here, what word best describes the Leftists?

Let's see:

Imbeciles
Morons
Retards

This Victorian era chart might help here:

So, idiots it is... The very stupid don't even rate on that chart being well above morons of various sorts. While there is nothing below idiot except maybe zombie or brain dead...

And, as we can see by this chart some things haven't changed. The idiots are still concentrated in the Blue states today as they were over 150 years ago...

Sure, and part of doing it properly is identifying the reason it is a fallacy.

Give an example of how I misused any of those terms.
