They actually made no argument. Just pointless attacking so no logic argument to be a fallacy. Somehow that’s better? Good on them.
If they had made an argument and qualified it with “because you’re an idiot”, that would still be as hominem. Does not have to specifically be about somebody’s character.
That’s not the definition but using ignorance to fit your narrative just like a politician. Nice.
