Reminds me of a video I saw about "gaslighting". Forget the guy's name though. He used the movie "Gaslight" to describe the current political scene. He opined that what we're being told isn't true and we know they're lying but they keep saying it and we eventually buy it. We believe them instead of our lying eyes.
Absolutely. And the Gaslighting thing is so, so accurate. It’s exactly, documentably what we see right here on Fr every single day. So it’s a given for the world at large.
Anyone that gives a couple moments of thought can see it clearly. But then they would have to compartmentalize it to make it go away. Reality however, is what it is regardless of what compartment people try stuffing it into. And it always manages to find a way out.
