I think it's already called a Straw Man.
Someone fake that people will attack and ridicule. And then, when pointed out that it's fake, people will backtrack and say silly things like "there are people actually this stupid and crazy" without an oz of awareness that nearly all their examples of others acting like that are, also, straw men.
That would be valid point if I haven't literally met people like this. I'm well aware of logical fallacies. Unfortunately reality is incredibly stupid and we all have to live with it.
