    To be a pendant; this is not a strawman. A strawman is an argument that like a training dummy is stood up so that you can easily knock it down. The MAGA in the comic makes no argument at all; let alone one that is easy to defeat.

    If it fits into any type of fallacy; it would be appeal to absurdity. The comic paints the MAGA as a mindless idiot; a caricature of reality.

    If anything it shows that the woman; with the bored look on her face, knows what she is doing is pointless, yet she persists. Knowing her efforts are meaningless.
