This book is your guide to spotting, dissecting, and laughing at the logical acrobatics performed daily on debate stages, campaign trails, and social media feeds. Each chapter unpacks a different fallacy, showing how it's used (or abused) by politicians across the spectrum. Whether it's the Argumentum ad Populum ("Everyone believes this, so it must be true ") or the Vox Populi, Vox Dei ("The people have spoken, so this must be divinely inspired "), the tactics are as old as rhetoric itself-only now they're backed by billion-dollar PR campaigns, bot armies, and 24-hour news cycles.
