"Voters believe what they are told to believe."

Some voters, not all. Some are able to think for themselves.

Some people continually use a hypothetical logical fallacy to prove a point.

"I want to go on record of saying that if Sawz jumps off a bridge"

What are the chances of that actually happening?

If Bobert slugs down some moonshine, fires up his Bong, and then bitches about people not following the rule of law then what?

What are the chances of that actually happening?

Hypothesis Contrary to Fact (Argumentum Ad Speculum):

Trying to prove something in the real world by using imaginary examples, or asserting that, if hypothetically X occurs, Y
would result.
