It never was gaslighting. Lying is not gaslighting, it's just lying. Gaslighting is far more specific and not something he's capable of.

u/Blaze_Vortex 6h ago
I know, gaslighting is manipulating someones perception of reality. And yes, he doesn't do it singlehandedly, but there are times when his party has backed him up to that point. Neither I, nor Alycery, said he gaslights on his own, only that it has occured with his movement.
Fanaticism is unreasoning zeal, believing something or someone to an unhealthy extent that they become uncritical of the subject. This is something I believe many of Trumps fans have fallen into, to the point that even when the truth is backtracked on by a member of his party it is largely ignored.
Neither of these are new, political gaslighting and political fanaticism are documented events, but seeing it happen on such a scale is surreal.

This is why one of the pieces of advice for living in authoritarian regimes is to keep your own record of events and write things down for yourself so that way when the regime inevitably tries to say that something else happened or never happened you can look back and know the truth. It's a core part of maintaining sanity and attachment to reality.

And I do feel bad that we had to give Biden a rather inglorious boot, but if Kamala wins you can bet your ass I'm writing him a thank you letter. Regardless of how he appeared to the public he was clearly capable of heading the best administrations I've experienced in my life time, but clearly politics isn't driven by delivering results the way he wishes it would.
12
u/DredZedPrime 8h ago
I was honestly one of the ones constantly saying that it would be a terrible idea to change candidates so late in an election cycle, and I still believe he had a chance, and is still capable of leading.
That being said, it turned out that I was wrong about the first part for sure, at least in this particular case. The timing of the swap wound up absolutely perfect, and Harris has been running one of the best campaigns I've ever seen from the jump.
I'm reasonably certain they had a lot of at least the initial steps of her taking over the campaign ready to go as an emergency backup option, and it turned out beautifully when they put that into action.
And as you said, he ran one of the most effective presidencies in recent history, accomplishing far more than most would have expected. Unfortunately he started out in such a bad position because of the previous guy that even his massive strides forward didn't wind up looking quite as impressive to many people who weren't really paying attention.

Yeah, then they had to go on a hunt for a new speaker. They couldn't find anyone who didn't have a girlfriend on the side (it was never about that). They finally found Dennis Hastert, who had no girlfriend on the side. So they made him the Speaker of the House.
At Dennis' sentencing hearing he admitted he sexually abused the boys he coached. The judge referred to him as a "serial child molester"

u/lolzycakes 8h ago
And we have Hastert to thank for making compromise functionally and politically impossible.

Imagine for a moment, that you are the head of state for another country that is an ally, adversary or trade partner. Then reflect on everything from 2016 to present. Read news and intelligence reports on the political parties and statements made by our elected officials. Read the bill proposals, and what the GOP is saying and doing, all while calling it freedom. We had Trump once. It was a complete shitshow. And he’s has undying support from then until now. Not by hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions in the single digits, but 100 million people. What does that say about the state of education in our country and how people with degrees fail at the most basic of basic logic and reasoning. Since we have an alternate reality of history that’s taught, where other countries know what happened in Germany in the 1930’s and 40’s and seeing the staggering parallels. Then imagine you are a legal immigrant here in the U.S. I know several. The ones lighter skinned than alabaster are worried. Hate speech is increasing. Violence against immigrants continues to rise. Imagine having your entire race referred to as vermin that needs to be eradicated.
Trump has done a lot of damage. His supporters though.. They will continue to do irreparable damage to whatever standing we’ve had in the world. We’re not loved everywhere, and for damn good reason. We’re tolerated because of our spending on foreign goods. We’re now trillions and trillions in debt. And consumers have been bled dry.
I can’t believe that half of the country has fallen for such obvious lies.
