A straw man argument is a fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent’s position

Exactly so. Your misrepresentation of my position is that the celebration of the downfall of evil is the exact same thing as the celebration of the downfall of good (to give the current administration the benefit of the doubt). You are either a moral relativist not believing in moral absolutes and really not seeing any difference between the two and hence to be pitied, or you know this and are just trying to score some sort of debate point rather than discussing an issue in which case you are just an a$$hole and likewise to be pitied. Like I said Jack, I'm not buying your strawman.

I stated your position and a logical conclusion based on that. I then asked you if that is the case and the only answer you’ve given me is that you’re right and they’re wrong because they disagree with you politically.
