This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and “fact check” it. Like the “world ending in 12 years” thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal. But the GOP is basically Dwight from The Office so who knows.https://twitter.com/MaxKennerly/status/1127600111952044032 …

Replying to @AOC
Hey
@ScottAdamsSays, I know you don't think gaslighting is a thing, but this is the closest I've seen to gaslighting one's *own supporters* (I'm assuming here that sea sponges would be on the "low" range of social intelligence)17 replies 21 retweets 488 likes -

Persuasion expert or not, I'm not buying his
@AOC mind-reading on this particular point. Which I guess means this is a persuasion fail for him. Not that it reflects negatively on@ScottAdamsSays, though; nobody's right 100% of the time, and he's in the ballpark more than most.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
You sound stuck on the new definition of words. Gaslighting means to intentionally make someone insane. Changing its meaning doesn't make your point correct. Use a different word. Maybe reverse psychology. I don't know, but we absolutely need a word for what you describe.
