I take it you failed reading comprehension class, right?
Hi, I'm a Republican. Welcome to my treasure trove of straw man arguments!

It's only a straw man argument if I actually engage your argument, shill. Which I did not.
The phrase you're looking for, shill, is ad hominem. Because instead of engaging your shill argument, I simply called you a shill.
Which is understandable, because you're a shill. Shill.

You used the word "shill" a total of six times in your three line reply, which is a very good indication that you are desperate for other people to believe the total lie you just invented. Despite what you read in Mein Kampf, repeating the same lie that I am a shill isn't going to make it more effective. People are smarter now than they were the first time you Nazis emerged. They have the benefit of experience.
Clearly, the only shill here is you. That's exactly why the first thing you do whenever you meet anybody who you suspect might call you out on it, is accuse them of being a shill.
