"Generalizing purely from your own experiences is a common logical fallacy."
It's convenient though isn't it? You get to post propaganda, then ignore any evidence that your propaganda is false!

Sigh. No.
It's just my prioritizing my time use.
But hey, I came up with a right wing example: circumcision.
It's a euphemism for mutilating a child. Obviously, no one supports mutilating children, but a lot of people support circumcision.
This is mainly driven by the right wing conservatives.
Well if nothing else you gave me an idea: https://steemit.com/philosophy/@telos/effigy-new-logical-fallacy-proposal
When I was AFK, I had another really good right wing example, but it escapes me now.
I'll let you know if it comes back.
No worries, this thread is way too long now anyway... ;)
And really, thinking about it the best and most prevalent example from the conservative side is the word "socialism."
It means a community owning the means of production, but many conservatives use it to mean any kind of social welfare program or even anyone who isn't conservative.
There's a great example in this thread even! If you go back a bit you'll see someone else replied accusing me of being a progressive, in response to which someone else claimed I was a socialist!
