Idiomsa straw man argument
A strawman argument is the logical fallacy of distorting an opposing position into an extreme version of itself and then arguing against that extreme version.
The most common form. Take a moderate position and inflate it to an extreme. "We should add bike lanes downtown" becomes "So you want to ban all cars." The new version keeps a thread of the original but stretches it past anything that was claimed. -
