The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden a solid this weekend, telling Republicans the Democratic president is fiendishly attempting to make people’s lives better.

        It’s not a straw man because his central claim is that all self-help gurus are inherently grifters.

          The straw man was him/her claiming that I must like Andrew Tate or Jordan Peterson (two people who I am not a fan of) because I like Marianne Williamson.

          Being a self-help whatever doesn’t mean that you are automatically a grifter, it just means that you write self-help shit.

            The three people are basically inseparable in that person’s mind, because OP views them all as grifters.

            I know you disagree (I also disagree even though I also dislike Williamson), but the argument is fundamentally not a straw man
