What the Fallacy?!
Non Sequitur
The Definition
Drawing a political conclusion that does not logically follow from the preceding policy argument or evidence.
The Explanation
Politicians often use non sequiturs to pivot from an uncomfortable fact to a completely unrelated talking point, making it sound like a logical deduction when there is no actual connection.
Political Example
Our city has seen a slight increase in traffic congestion this year. Therefore, we must immediately lower taxes for large corporations!
