Argumentum ad ignorantiam.
I also dislike the entire existence of the "Slippery slope" fallacy, as in fact there are things in life that are "Slippery slopes".
Name one.
The Roman Empire didn't fall because of societal evolution. It fell from being stretched too thin and the invasion from Germanic tribes that caused numerous military losses.Societal evolution. There is a series of societal traits that once they become dominate, it leads to the fall of a society. A common example is what happened to Rome. What happens when a country embraces hedonism? In this instance, one thing literally does lead to another. While I have nothing against LGBT, the normalization of it has led to attempts of normalization of pedophilia (in the form of underaged drag queens for example who get treated like strippers). There is a push to consider pedophilia a sexual orientation. There are even tv shows on it. The slippery slope predicts zoophilia after pedophilia on the staircase of degeneracy and its been right every time. I am already seeing examples of it. So yeah, I am going to call this one real.

This would be a non-sequitur since your statement doesn't logically follow why the Roman Empire fell, from being stretched too thin and the invasion of Germanic tribes, causing numerous military losses.It was also the first to embrace democratic means, hedonism, sexual degeneracy, and allowing woman to vote. Aka progressive.

Strawman.What would military loses have to do with Rome being sacked by a barbarian tribe? That's illogical. Must be the gays gaying things up.
Strawman.
She did say the gays were part of a slippery slope that led to the Roman Empire's downfall, though. I suppose "progressivism" was the original first cause, not gays, but the gays definitely played a role in her argument. Gays gaying things up did in fact have something to do with the fall of the Roman Empire in her opinion.
Uhh.. think that is a fallacy, though.
Not causation, but part of what lead to it. Hence it being a slippery slope fallacy, but in reality.
It's not a great case for an example of a slippery slope fallacy that is a reality. At least, I don't find it terribly convincing? Can you think of something concerning something less controversial, perhaps not linked to contemporary politics?
Thats literally the whole point of it being considered a fallacy, but you can see evidence of the contrary. You are not going to find "Examples" of a fallacy being true. Use your brain.
