The verb “gaslight” comes from a 1940s movie by the same
name. The villain artfully manipulates
events and situations to make his victim doubt her sanity. Near the end she’s
not certain what’s real and what isn’t because he’s controlled her perception
of reality.
I think the media and the left are trying to do the same to the
American public.
They are actively trying to make us question what’s real and
accept their alternate reality.
In that alternate reality, Trump is a racist, a bigot,
sexist, a misogynist, a xenophobe, and a homophobe. He’s doing the bidding of
Vladimir Putin by dismantling NATO, criticizing our European allies, and constantly
attacking the integrity of the FBI and our other intelligence agencies. He may also be a Russian agent since
1987.
Trump colluded with Russians to steal the last election,
which he really didn’t win anyway. He
hates all Muslims. He hates all people of color, especially brown and black
people. He uses ICE to terrorize illegal
immigrants by breaking down their doors, raiding their workplaces, and
deporting them, often ripping families apart.
He also favors tearing babies from the arms of their mothers at the
border to discourage other possible illegal immigrants from trying to come
here.
He’s nominating people chosen by powerful alt-right
extremists to the SCOTUS who will repeal Roe v. Wade, rollback voting rights
and civil rights for minorities, take away protections and rights for the LGBTQ
community, put women in prison for having abortions, let corporations poison
the environment, and turn America into a police state.
Of course, none of that is true. There’s no proof at all. Not a scrap.
Trust me, if there was I’d know about it. I’m a
news junkie. Every day I read the hard copy of the Wall Street Journal – Monday through Saturday, check out everything
online on Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC for balance, and sometimes go to Snopes to
check things, as well as do my own research. I’ve been doing all this every day
for years to validate what’s real and what isn’t.
If there were any “proof” of any of the above, somebody
would have shown it by now. It would be the scoop of the century. You have to believe thousands have been
desperately trying to find something, anything, substantive to support any of
these allegations.
The best anyone has come up with is that various reports and
rumors “suggest” these might be true, which is a clever way to get
around admitting you don’t have any hard evidence.
You can’t prove a negative hypothesis – you can’t prove
something will never happen. But you
sure as Hell can prove something has happened, especially when it’s by someone
as extensively scrutinized for decades like Trump, if, in fact, it ever
did.
The truth is, it’s all made up nonsense. At best it’s
speculation about what he might have done or might do, but again, there’s nothing to indicate he
has or will or even wants to. If
anything, there’s a mountain of evidence that supports the exact opposite
conclusion.
However, the media won’t ever report that. Even when facts are staring them in the face
and readily available to anyone who cares to look. It’s not what the left and the Democrats
want.
Instead they’ll all continue to push their alternate reality
and hope we fall for it.
It’s called gaslighting. And they are all
gaslighting the American public.
