Gaslighting is a kind of domestic violence. It involves a certain level of trust. Bernie Bros can't gaslight you. Trump can't gaslight you. Disagreement about basic reality is only one part of gaslighting. The other part is having a serious reason to doubt your perceptions.https://twitter.com/FredTJoseph/status/1231546447302144000 …

Gaslighting was a feature of one of my first romantic relationships -- I seriously doubted whether incidences of abuse had occurred. I wasn't sure if I'd imagined them or if I was confusing a bad dream with reality somehow. I believed what he told me because I trusted him.

It is just completely infuriating to see "gaslighting" applied to Donald Trump saying he didn't say something he just said on camera five minutes ago, or to the vast majority of harassment from strangers online. They don't have that kind of power over you.

Replying to @slooterman @ozyfrantz
Trump is doing someone else, I think experts call it "lying."
