strawman arguments
A strawman argument is a deceptive technique where someone misrepresents or distorts another person's position or argument in a way that makes it easier to attack. It involves presenting a weaker or exaggerated version of the opposing viewpoint to undermine and discredit it, rather than addressing the actual argument.
