Learned a new term ?Gaslighting?
From Wikipedia:
?Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, it attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's belief.[1][2]
Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim. The term owes its origin to the 1938 Patrick Hamilton play Gaslight and its 1940 and 1944 film adaptations, in which a man dims the gas lights in his home and then persuades his wife that she is imagining the change. The term has been used in clinical and research literature,[3][4] as well as in political commentary.?
Supposedly, this is what the liberals have been doing in their fight against Trump.
?The aftermath of then-Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh?s Supreme Court confirmation hearing is another good example of how gaslighting the public is now a Democratic art. We were told for weeks that he was a drug-dealing pimp who organized gang rape parties. And this was just in high school.?

Just a new term for Pulling the wool over your eyes (hoodwink).It's done by all politicians regardless of their affiliation! Fiat central bank money is the biggest and greatest con on the planet for governments right now! Currency manipulation and Taxation powers are second and third, however! Wake up!

Back in the 50's, that term applied to when one person cut a fart w/pants down and 2nd person held a match to set the gas on fire.
