Shit I should have an answer but all I can think about is categories of incompetent communication attempts, aka people that are effectively mute and can't form sentences.
For example, you can figure out from context someone is pro republican, but they say "republicans have got rid of bureaucracy/regulation that holds back businesses" and mean it as a good thing, then get mad when you push back and more mad that they have to justify their statement.
Then there's ass-pulls that lack any supporting logic (not evidence because human brain doesn't require evidence to believe things) then they get mad when there's push back. The example there is a random antivaxxers that decided that deaths from the covid vaccine was underreported by 20 times simple because "it's common for things to being reported by that much", then get furious when I multiply covid deaths by 20 and magically covid deaths are over reported
