False dichotomy...

[Maddog]

A false dilemma, also referred to as false dichotomy, is an informal fallacy based on a premise that erroneously limits what options are available. The source of the fallacy lies not in an invalid form of inference but in a false premise. This premise has the form of a disjunctive claim: it asserts that one among a number of alternatives must be true.

This disjunction is problematic because it oversimplifies the choice by excluding viable alternatives. For example, a false dilemma is committed when it is claimed that, "Stacey spoke out against capitalism; therefore, she must be a communist"...............


Let me provide two others.

Bob thinks kneeling is stupid, therefore he supports racism.

Bob thinks Biden is a blabbering idiot, therefore he supports Trump..


Most positions are a bit more complex and nuanced to apply this overly simplistic view to them.

Carry on.
