In the famous psychological drama, Gaslight, it took a Scotland Yard detective to prove the heroine had been driven half-mad by a gaslighting husband. All it took us to see how we had been deceived was a CNN debate. Who was the villain? How much was the American public the victim of gaslighting designed to dispel the notion that President Biden was mentally and physically unfit to hold the office of president? Let me count the ways.
The Villains
Jeremy Carl is on target about some of the villains. He says the party apparatchiks, and more specifically the Biden apparatchiks, were responsible for agreeing to the debate under terms they thought would be sure to help in hiding Biden’s decline:
They wouldn't enjoy anywhere near the same power and access with his successor. For better or worse, their fates are tied to Biden specifically. They had the debate early because they knew that while Biden was not in great shape, they had drunk the Kool-Aid and convinced themselves, at least to some degree, of the lies they have been telling for years to the American people about his mental state. They thought that if they worked with the most favorable rules, on the most favorable network with the most favorable moderators, and gave Biden a full week to prep, they would be able to get through it and even if they didn't "win" it would be far enough from the election that voters would ignore a mediocre performance. They were not counting on what a disaster it would be to have Biden fully unmasked 1:1 vs. a competent and energetic opponent. Yes, Biden's performance was such a disaster that it's tempting to think "this was all planned" but that's only if you ignore the levels of self-deception...

Played out exactly like the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes, propheticly written in 1837.
The gaslighting over Biden’s dementia isn’t ‘over.’
Democrats know that a very large contingent of their voter base weren’t anywhere near that debate. Didn’t care about it at all.
And what we will see in the coming days and weeks are lies about his performance and an intentional cognitive dissonance about his mental state. They’re gonna double, triple-down on the lies and cover up about his breakdown.
It looks like we’re going to find out if the DemonRat voter fraud machine is efficient enough to get a breathing corpse re-elected as the actual POTUS. More popcorn.....
Mrs. fonebone does not have a political bone in her body.
She said what they are doing to brandon constitutes abuse.
They are so acclimated to lying all the time, they start believing their own lies.
The gaslighting is over! Let the (new)gaslighting begin!
2nd verse, same as the first!
The gaslighting is not over. In a few more days everything will settle down and be just like it was before the debate.
Gaslighting shifting gears, but not over. You will see.
Now that the media is going to be on high alert for more of Biden’s lapses of coherence, expect him to go into deeper hiding. Just as the campaign should be heating up.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ~ George Orwell, 1984
The next step is frankly to get us involved in a shooting war and become a “wartime” President.
They need a giant distraction from the obvious and armed conflict is the only way out.
.....just not correctly.
That's what I think. They'll just try to say: "It wasn't as bad as you remembered...and Trump's a liar!"
