Anti-gaslighting means what?

Same thing as "Astroturfing".

I.e., designed to achieve contrived results.

At this early stage, I’d say ‘gaslighting’ has as many definitions as neo-conservative. :)

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse designed primarily to undermine the confidence of the target.

Anti-gaslighting is simply truth-telling to dispel the spell cast by a pattern of abuse.

In this case we are being gaslighted by the media who keep rigging poll internals to sustain a false narrative about Clinton leading.

Anti-gaslighting efforts in this case can take the form of accurate polling (LAT/IBD/PPD), or the form of exposing the poll manipulation.
