If the slippery slope is a fallacy, why is it so prophetic? The sexual revolution and gay rights has led to pedophilia. Women's rights has led to women leaving their husbands and murdering their children. SCOTUS legalizing contraception by fiat led to legalizing abortion as Justice Black predicted.
The old religious right actually underestimated how slippery the slope was. They would tell you to stop being hyperbolic if you could tell them about current year.
Fundamentally, I don't give a shit that you like it as a rhetorical device. If you use it as a rhetorical device, then you admit that if you Overturn Roe v. Wade, you re-establish slavery.
Now for everyone else:
Stop using a real fallacy as a rhetorical flourish.
Fallacies are errors in validity. Validity & Truth-value are independent.
A series of conjoined logical implications into a single implication is not a fallacy, it's boolean logic. The fallacy is when you assert that the thing which is not an implication is an implication. The fallacy normally arises when your argument is a series of conjoined, disjunctive implications (which you can't simplify to a single implication), being treated as a conjoined implications (which you can simplify to an implication). Meaning, you can't say if you go to the bank you'll be shot by the guard, because that's not a 1:1 relationship, like the ignition on your car.
It's not whether or not I like the slippery slope as a rhetorical device; it simply is one, as are most of the other not-actually-fallacies redditors like to throw out. Feel free to continue denying the reality in front of your eyes just because you don't like the obvious implications of the liberal logic that brought us here.
Just because a Leftist abuses something, doesn't mean that thing is wrong.
Don't blame guns for bank robberies.
Don't blame fallacies for Leftists.

Okay, so you admit you want slavery enshrined, because that is as perfectly reasonable as your car starting as when you turn the key in your ignition.
