Liberals are dictator?

Original Question

I saw a comment from a media said that Liberals are dictator that don't accept criticism, see the downvote as the proof. And when there's no downvote he said that what he say is right? It seems that he interpret to win every situation in the first place. What fallacy is this?

I am wondering if it could be a kind of "Poisoning the well fallacy"  in which he is preemptively trying you to refute his argument.

I don't think this is an intelligible exchange.


(Note: I posted this yesterday, but my comment seems to have vanished!)

Interpreting upvotes as proof he is correct is an Appeal to Popularity

I am not sure I quite understand but I will do my best.


Liberals are dictators because they down vote comments they don't like.


This just doesn't follow. Down voting something that says something negative about a person or their group doesn't make that person a dictator or even dictatorial.



And when there's no downvote he said that what he say is right?



I don't quite understand this. Perhaps he is just asserting without evidence (not like a downvote would be evidence).
