Get the Punching down mug.
A close relative of the Straw Man, but with a key difference: it distorts or oversimplifies an opponent's argument not just to make it easier to attack, but by leveraging supposed juridical, hegemonic, or moral authority to legitimize the distortion. You create a weak, fake version of the argument (the "punching bag") that aligns with established power structures, then beat it down while claiming you're upholding law, order, or mainstream morality. It's a Straw Man with a badge and a gavel.
Example: "Arguing for police reform, you say 'We need greater accountability.' The opponent commits the Punching Bag Fallacy: 'So you want to defund the police and let criminals run wild, creating chaos in our streets!' They've twisted 'accountability' into 'anarchy,' using the hegemonic fear of crime to justify attacking a position you never held."
