You didn't even use foul language. Impressive.

these demotards phrase things so that no matter how you answer or respond, you are wrong.

i don't even fully understand how to do it, but i recognize that they are doing this..

they do something like this:

they might say "the republicans want to NOT ALLOW ABORTION and they want to STOP BUDWEISER FROM BREWING BEER and they want to STOP ALLOWING CHILDREN TO HAVE CANDY AND ICE CREAM".

they put two or more issues together that are not even similar issues.. they make it impossible to respond and not look stupid.

Of course they do. If someone doesn't have any substantive argument, they will cast accusations to prevent continuation of any debate to shut you down. Once they shut you down, they win by default even though their points suck. "Yeah well that's sexist-transfat-veganphobia that offends islamic minor marriage, you racist bigot". It's so unbelievably dumb that it doesn't even warrant a dignified response.

they teach you in college how to turn a nice conversation into a circular clusterfuck, don't they?

is there a name for this type of logic or debate that goes nowhere?

Reductio ad Hitlerum, aka playing the Nazi card to shut down conversation.

That's my favourite fallacy!
