I’ll have to check it out. Thanks. Without even watching it, I think that’s what happened to me. I thought I was going insane.
Now let’s see how the Pelosi wing of the Dim party handles AOC’s going off script.
So, basically a person accuses you of what they are engaging in?
Well done. AOC has it in for Biden and this is just way too delicious. That said, I don’t think the rat cover up qualifies as gas lighting. It’s just not the right metaphor for a cover up.
No matter: go get em AOC!
“Gaslighting” is when you notice someone doing suspicious things, challenge them about it, and they explain it away as you being crazy. Passive-aggression is tougher for me to define, so I looked it up lol. “Indirect resistance” is one feature, say incessant procrastination and the like. The P-A personality doesn’t say “no,” but will subtly and quietly sabotage whatever you think they’ve agreed to do.
Accusations of these behaviors are favorites by the “b cluster” personalities.
It’s more like the person who’s misbehaving convinces those who are on to him that their (well-founded) suspicions are, in fact, just crazy talk. I hate to say it, but AOC is basically right and is using the term correctly. Anyone with eyes and a brain can see that Joe Biden is a lecherous old coot, and his accuser’s claims have a degree of credibility, yet the Democrats and the media seek to dismiss the allegations of discredited crazy talk.
Maybe I was passive aggressive. Is sarcasm a type of passive aggresiveness?
Psychologist have done tests like this involving a group of people (in reality everyone except one is in on the test) are to determine which two lines match each other in length. Everyone in the room picks the wrong answer (and it is obvious the lines do not match) In many cases the person being study ends up going along with the group and even admits that they were questioning their own sanity.
This is the hit that brings Cuomo.
“Okay. What the hell is gaslighting?”
It’s not what she says it is, i.e. silencing. She obviously doesn’t know the meaning nor the origin of the term.
What it means is bamboozling someone, or driving a person crazy by psychological manipulation, making you believe what isn’t real. A form of psychological warfare.
It’s essentially what the lame stream media does to the American public everyday.
The term comes from a movie of the same name.

Weaklings go with the consensus.
Every time.
That’s why they are weaklings.
But why would a person do that to another person?
She should do porno.
“But why would a person do that to another person? “
Are you serious? There are all sorts of scam artists constantly trying to bamboozle simpletons, and gullible people out of their money or property.
And politicians are especially adept at that art.
Here’s the movie from which the term comes from, if you’re interested...

Thanks for the link. I’ll watch it when I haven’t had so much to drink. I don’t think I’m in the right frame of mind right now.
Doesn’t she know that democrats don’t do that? They never ever investigate one of their own. They’ve been doing that my whole lifetime.
