Good morning! Let's talk about gaslighting! Gaslighting, one of the most psychologically damaging types of harassment, is when serial abusers present false information or a false narrative to make you doubt your own memory, perceptions, sanity, or professional knowledge.

Gaslighting is when a serial harasser shows up at your panel with a mob of angry men with the goal of intimidation and then proceeds to tell you and everyone else who will listen that *you* harassed them.https://www.polygon.com/features/2017/6/27/15880582/anita-sarkeesian-garbage-human-vidcon-interview …

Gaslighting is such a constant in my life that whenever I tweet about my own experiences (especially wrt harassment), my mentions are inundated with posts that are purposely meant to make me doubt my motives and especially my own lived reality.

How do you know which side is being gaslit though, given we are watching two movies on one screen? You're more than familiar with the MSM's tactics and smear campaigns, having been the victim of many yourself, so how do you know he isn't as well and you were lied to about him?

In other words, how do you know the media-political complex hasn't been gaslighting you about Trump, given their gravy boat is threatened by him.
