We're way past the point of policy disagreements the relevant question right now is how do you stop them. It's certainly not by reimagining your adversary's actions in the most charitable light.

Exploiting the need to invent a "logical" reason to do something illogical is the exact attack vector that the Gish Gallop uses to fuck over people.

There is no such thing as "effectively arguing" against a Gish Gallop, that's it's entire purpose.
