    “A straw man fallacy occurs when someone distorts or exaggerates another person’s argument”

    They distorted my argument by making shit up. That’s called a straw man fallacy.

    You think you’re saying a lot, but you’ve said nothing.

      Saying “your views support this” is not making the argument you’re claiming it does.
