Republicans have been working for years to privatize everything from prisons and schools to Medicare and Social Security.

If Trump and the Republicans don't wake folks out of their slumber, nothing will.

It's beyond the pale now, no questions asked, this is exactly what is going on.

They are doing the above in spades.

Gaslight... isn't that a term drafted up by the same crowd who need safe spaces?

Nope, but thanks for taking care of that projection portion of the above acronym.

Made this thread 18 months ago for a reason, and what I'll consider a rolling poll.

About the 1 year update - it's worse now then before. This is a thing. This is happening; Curious to see if the poll continues its trend.

It's from an old Movie: "Gaslight", where a husband systematically tries to drive his wife crazy.

And, yes, he is.

The Gas Lighting is somehow worse then before...

Recent examples of calling M.Markle nasty then denying it.

Denying that requests where made to keep USS John McCain out of view.

The incorrect conclusions drawn from the Mueller report.

It's been a 2+ year endless list and it seems to keep gathering steam.

Gaslighting must be the newest thing to hang on Donald Trump since eveything else has worn thin.

It sounds like a term CNN would make up and then pass it off to all the other liberal media outlets.

It means saying or doing something then denying that you said or did that something. Trump is a master at it.

Not a new thing at all. He's done it since he's been in office. I've been saying it since he was elected.
