When people visit NY+ask about safety I tell them the basics, that’s it’s mostly fine but also always-if something feels wrong,sometimes you only have a split second to move,leave or react-perpetrators often count on you afraid of being impolite.
The way that gaslighting works is that you are correctly reacting to outrageous behavior with rage, sadness, a desire to separate, and the gaslighter insists that you are crazy, you are misbehaving, it is in fact your behavior that is out of line. They do this to control you.https://twitter.com/WendyMolyneux/status/1011296199175909376 …

A bunch of serial killers have relied on exactly this too. And lots of us are trained from childhood to ignore that nagging feeling that something's wrong and be 'polite."

Senator Waters was just saying "I'm mad as hell & I'm not gonna take it anymore!" A natural response to the systematic dismantling of our Democracy."But it's true, the gaslighting is ongoing & I'm wondering if ignoring it as we strategize how to topple Trump isn't a way to go.

In addition to the gaslighting, the facade of civility in pundit & politician interviews (no one who supports child prisons & indefinite, unorganized separation of parents & their children, is EVER civil), another dirty tactic Trump & his goons/supporters are using is called...
-
...the "Gish Gallop" (aka "appeal to verbosity"): they throw so many bullshit, contradictory lies & excuses at those who question them that their opponents become overwhelmed trying to cut through all of it to get at the truth. Plus, sometimes spaghetti thrown sticks to a wall:

no matter how big a lie, his fans will eat up enough of it to sustain them, repeat it, give the lie life, & gloss over the rest. America will be sifting through all of the toxic misconceptions people come to believe, based on Trump's steaming nuggets of "wisdom", for decades.
-
Familiarize yourselves with the Gish Gallop, learn how to anticipate it & shut that shit DOWN, spread the word to others on what this tactic is & how to fight it. If Trump & fans lose control over this tactic, there's no replacement https://bit.ly/2lke6PY https://bit.ly/2tEelHo
