The Rule of So

1. When you ask a question starting with "So" in a discussion with someone, you're probably misinterpreting their argument to make it look much worse in order to make yourself look better.

2. A Strawman fallacy. When you expect someone to defend a statement they're not making.

Example 1.
Person 1: "I'm a Democrat."
Person 2: "So you eat babies, want a population of 10 billion in the USA, and want to close down and jail the whole police force?"
Person 1. "Fail. The Rule of So."

Example 2.

Person 1: "I'm a Republican".
Person 2: "So you think Donald Trump is Jesus, Alex Jones should be the next president, and it should be compulsory for all children to bring guns to school?
Person 1. "I'm not even going to answer that."
