ad hominem fallacy

ad hominem | ædˈhɒm.ɪ.nəm | adjective

  • In the ad hominem fallacy, the arguer rejects the proponent’s argument on the basis of critical remarks against the proponent rather than against the proponent’s argument.

Sleepy Joe Biden is one of Trump’s favourite slurrs against Joe Biden but has nothing to do with Biden’s performance. This could also be a straw person attack. Let me know what you think!

Karin
Primarily interested in society and the commons, Karin’s art and writing take inspiration from Mikhail Bakhtin’s Rabelais and His World and Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle. She enjoys poking fun at society, celebrity, politics and entitlement using pastiche, satire and parody as her tools. Karin began her professional career as an interpretive Illustrator in 1997, specializing in publishing and advertising. In 2000 she began working as a graphic designer for print media, focusing on business branding and educational book publishing. Shortly after, she added web design, copywriting and social media to her portfolio. Karin is currently exploring interactive art after completing a B.A. in Multimedia at McMaster University.
