Crowder misrepresent something through outright omission and obfuscation? Sounds like any day that ends in y.

It is pretty awesome living in a fantasy! I mean how else can I be a 150 foot tall battle mech that can conquer an entire planet on my own?

Also, what is your obsession with Steven Crowder? I’m so glad you’re letting him live in your brain rent free. It’s just straight up creepy.

A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".

All right wing memes are strawmen. Then they beg the question

In classical rhetoric and logic, begging the question or assuming the conclusion is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. 

And when that fails they will make an appeal to populism, which is the basis of Authoritarian Communism

argumentum ad populum (plural argumenta ad populum) (rhetoric) A fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or all people believe it; it alleges that “if many believe so, it is so”.

Or cry "Fake News"

Argument from incredulity, also known as argument from personal incredulity, appeal to common sense, or the divine fallacy, is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs, or is difficult to imagine.

The second most common strategy is to gaslight.

Gaslighting describes the systematic pattern of abuse by which the abuser manipulates factual information to give the victim the impression that they cannot trust their own senses. They may repeatedly focus on their own feelings in order to make the victim feel guilty for hurting them. Psychologists recognise this as being part of the grooming process seen so often in cases of Child Sexual Exploitation. 

Strange how every right wing influencer, shitposter, and troll use the same populist rhetoric used by sexual predators to confound their victims,
Isn't that just *so weird*

The last ditch effort is to Poison the Well... which is a cocktail of the fallacies listed above. Designed to leave the opponent stumped as to which claim to unpack and address, by which time the agent provocateur has moved onto a different talking point or personal attack.

That's because Reich Whingers are Bullshivics;

Bolshevik, bull, civic-minded, demagogue), a person who gains political power by appealing to individuals feeling's instincts, & prejudices in a fashion that is considered manipulative & myopic; an individual who incessantly reiterates equivalent petty issues, until these are generally taken seriously
_There are citizens with valid complaints & issues, but invariably the meeting will have to deal with some Bullshivic & his personal gripe of "supreme importance".

America is a People's Democratic Republic with a Constitutional document, just like China, Iran, N Korea and the USSR. Patriotism and Communism are identical phenom, where the Party demands total loyalty, above even truth.

"Claim everything, deny everything, explain nothing".
Prescott Bush

"Deny, Disinform, deflect."

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
George Orwell,  1984

The Reich Whinge are America's Authoritarian Communist Party

"Deflect and distract, never give in, never admit fault, lie and attack, lie and attack, publicity no matter what, win no matter what"
Roy Cohn

Once you understand these bad faith strategies their nonsense becomes easy to rebuff
