Problem/Solution Conflation

They don’t care about actual problems they care about the lack of their specific solutions.

Steps for typical example
A. Point to problem
Ex. That person can’t afford their medical bills!

B. Act as if there is only one solution (theirs)
Ex. Universal health care is how to fix it.

C. Say that the problem is the lack of the solution
Ex. If we had universal healthcare*, this wouldn’t be a problem.

It does not follow because there are other solutions and theirs hasn’t been proven to work without causing other problems.

Its kinda like, “ends justifies the means” but worse. It’s like “goals justify the means.” See more on this Here.

*They say universal health care but, it’s actually nationalist healthcare. This is an attempt to hide what is really going on.
