Trump, Preparing to Challenge the Results, Puts His 2020 Playbook Into Action

This article employs a strong undercurrent of logical fallacies to frame former President Trump’s campaign strategy as deceitful and anti-democratic. The repeated use of appeal to emotion is evident as the narrative evokes fear about election integrity without presenting balanced perspectives. The genetic fallacy appears where the text discredits Trump's strategy by linking it to the events surrounding Jan. 6, 2021, without a clear causal relationship. Straw man fallacies occur in oversimplifications of Trump’s stated concerns, implying a blanket opposition to fair election processes. Biased language is pervasive, subtly casting Trump and his allies as malicious actors, while a false cause is suggested by linking increased election safeguards to Trump’s past actions as if they are a direct response.
