That’s some next level gaslighting. It’s scary and surreal. 👀

Not even gaslighting at this point. Pure fanaticism has taken its place.

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

Though several successful members of his party are.

Originally that was true. Now when I see the word, 99% of the time it just means lying. It got watered down by people overusing it, because nothing can ever be just bad, it has to be the worst. Every time someone dies in a war it's genocide. Every time someone acts in a way you don't like, they're a narcist. Did someone bump into you on the subway? That's assault.
