2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Trump is the god emperor of mankind.


He sits on the golden throne.

God is good.

Trump is good.

I really feel that this falls under Hitchens's razor since the original person isn't actually making any argument and is instead making an appeal to emotion.

Not an argument and non sequiturs[edit]

Is not the 'not an argument' on occasion a form of non sequitur/'forcible argument shutdown' to an opinion expressed or (to what the speaker thinks is) a statement of fact? Anna Livia (talk) 12:12, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
