We could call the arguments sleight of mind, since they are the equivalent, for thoughts, of what sleight of hand is for physical operations.

A Proud Boys member who joined in the Jan 6 insurrection, then planned to try an insurrection in Portland, Oregon, has been sentenced to only 6 years in prison.

Given his unrepentant determination to support a fascist take-over of the US that is a combination of massive crimes, he will be eager to support a right-wing coup when he gets out. It would be wiser to give him a sentence several times as long.
