"A Surprising Share of Americans Wants to Break Up the Country. Here’s Why They’re Wrong."

What an ignorant headline, a perfect non-sequitur.

"A Surprising Share of Americans Wants to Break Up the Country. Here’s Why They’re Wrong."

What an ignorant headline, a perfect non-sequitur.

The headline does not purport to be a syllogism. It advances no logical argument. It merely states a "fact" ("A Surprising Share of Americans Wants to Break Up the Country." - I'll grant you that the veracity of that statement has yet to be definitively proven.), followed by an announcement that the main article will somehow "debunk" this (incorrect) "want."

It's as though I were to announce:

"A large percentage of 4-year-olds believe that the Moon is made of green cheese. Here's why those 4-year-olds are wrong!"

It isn't a "non sequitur" because it does not purport to be a complete logical argument.
