> Slippery slope is also a fallacy if you take one instance of a trend and then logically project it to an absurd extreme, but this is not what we're doing here. We're simply looking at the next obvious, logical, well-evidenced step, with plenty of people who obviously want this even if they are a bit too discreet to come right out and say it in public.
What makes it easy to oversell as a fallacy is that everything you described that defines it is subjective, and easily argued about. People disagree a lot on what's "absurd" or "obvious" or "well-evidenced."
