Slippery Slope Logical Fallacy

(Lubrico Fastigo)

Meaning

This logical fallacy is very assumptive and gives the appearance of allowing a sequence of events but goes on to extreme measures after only giving about two-five steps. Politicians and homophobes commonly use it as to justify their certain risky yet averse opinions on something Ie: It seems everyone this age use chemically produced products, thus it must be that the chemtrails are effecting us to make people gay. Which is bad yeah? But it's not just these two groups of people, it's common everywhere surprisingly.  Especially when someone's hubris is involved in the sitch/argument. 

Especially with the not so funny joke/meme of Will Ferrell's where he states that something escalated quickly.

Debate/Discussion

Now that you know the meaning of slippery slope, you may ask me any debatable question and I will respond with a slippery slope response. After that, I will give you starter topics on starting a slippery slope debate and you may break off into groups of 2-4 and have some of your own slippery slope debates. We may continue on until your groups are done, which is to say, don't go past the 5 minute mark I have, that's about it. Have fun with your debates!

Syllogism:

Even x has occurred thus, event Y /must/ follow.

Examples:

Say Trump did become president, the way he thinks about Mexicans and the policies he wants to add are a great example. The way he sees it is that if so many illegal immigrants come to America, soon enough that's all America will be and become a part of Mexico.
