Appeal to Common Sense - FT#170

In the one-hundred-and-seventieth episode, we explore the Appeal to Common Sense Fallacy, starting with Trump ignoring the evidence on DEI, immigration, and crime.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch being confusing, Rishi Sunak denouncing elitism, Nigel Farage dismissing wokeism, and Baroness Fox celebrating the death of DEI.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Bull, Body of Evidence, and Life on Mars.

Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.

Then we talk about Trump 's lie-filled address to the Joint Session of Congress

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

Subscribe to Fallacious Trump to make sure you never miss a logical fallacy. Rather than just mindless anti-Trump rhetoric, we apply skepticism and critical thinking to our Donald Trump analysis by exploring his liberal use of logical fallacies and cognitive biases, along with a bit of humor and news about US politics. (But there is also some of that much needed anti-Trump rhetoric.)
