Leftists love making up strawman scenarios in order to guilt people into supporting their positions. For instance, they demand that pro-lifers pay for every baby, from cradle to grave, or they’re not really pro-life.
In fairness, you can hardly blame them. For a long time, this tactic worked on far too many people. Maybe not true conservatives (like our Twitchy readers), but with people in the middle who just want to be seen as kind and compassionate, and don’t like confrontation.

But they still like to try. This weekend, one leftist, Barbara Janik, decided to play the game with taxes. We don’t know who Janik is (she says she wrote a book about Osama bin Laden, but we’ve never heard of it). But she DOES call herself a ‘resister’ and lists her ‘preferred’ pronouns, so it’s easy to conclude that her question was not coming from a place of honest inquiry. Take a look:
