Personal attack tactics during Debates or Conversation
Ad hominem: Attacking the character or personal traits

Example of a slippery slope:
Action: Legalizing same-sex marriage.

A false dichotomy presents only two choices when more exist.
Example: “You’re either with us or against us.”
Why false: It forces a choice between extremes, ignoring neutrality, disagreement, or other perspectives.

I first post about this was word-salad-y... To be very clear, I am not celebrating his death. However, when someone spends their life steeped in hate — inciting, promoting violence, spreading ignorance — it’s not surprising when the harm they put into the world eventually comes back to them.
