Wait, how can you trick someone into thinking they're insane if they're ACTUALLY insane?

You can’t drive the left insane. They have already arrived at that point.

I believe it is called Trolling and living in your heads rent free, but you are getting what you deserve. You don’t poke a bear to see if it claws are sharp.

Nope, it just feels that way to those without the awareness to understand what’s really happening. Today’s Scott Adams (Dilbert) blog has the real answer and there’s short FR thread going on about it where the answer is contained: OODA.

You do not need to gaslight the media. They are already nuts like their RAT companions.

NO.... The Media is Gaslighting Trump.

They accuse Trump of everything they are doing.

Everything is INVERTED in their twisted world.

It’s as if these cockroaches view life through a mirror.
