"Who is the target? Who is being gaslit?"

1. Independent conservative bloggers (Dennis Prager, InfoWars, etc.). They are already being banned and demonetized.

2. Fox News. Every word of every Fox host is closely monitored by the left, hoping to find some fatal gaffe or slur. In just the past year, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Judge Jeanine - among others - have already been targeted, resulting in suspensions (Judge Jeanine) and loss of sponsorship (Carlson and Ingraham).

3. Traditional Christian churches and pastors, including their social media and websites.

4. Christian-owned businesses.

5. Conservative organizations on college campuses.

6. Conservative talk radio.

7. All of us. Any conservative still in the work force is under threat of suspension or termination for thinking, saying, or believing the wrong things, even on their own time or on personal social media, even if it has no direct impact on their work performance or work relationships.

Gaslighting is a tactic wherein a person (or group) makes another person (or group) question their own sanity and perception of reality.

This article seems to be preaching to the converted (the author's fellow Liberals) by attributing qualities to the Right that are practiced by and inherent to the Left. That may be despicable, but it's not gaslighting.

That said, Liberals are most certainly guilty of spreading propaganda and lies that demonize, discredit, and seek to destroy the Right.
