Okay. What the hell is gaslighting?

Ever seen one of those movies or made-for-tv flicks in which husband/boyfriend is the bad guy (bigamist, adulterer, serial killer, thief, drug addict, traitor, etc) yet he somehow manages to convince his poor suffering wife/girlfriend that her suspicions about him are merely delusions and she’s just picking on him? That’s Gaslighting from the movie Gas Light, an early example of the trope.
“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.

You must be young. It’s from an old movie called “Gaslight”.
She thinks if she uses big words and flaps her arms around it makes democraps think she is smart.
Gaslighting is a psychological term for when someone messes with someone’s mind to make them believe the opposite of what reality is. Like convincing them their real memories are just figments of their imagination and the lies they are told are the truth.
What Alpha did to Lydia on the Walking Dead.
There’s an old movie called “Gaslight” which is where the term originates.
To “gaslight” someone is to make them seriously doubt things they (otherwise) know (without a doubt) to be true. It’s very unnerving to be “gaslighted” by someone you trust implicitly. To the point of doubting your own sanity in extreme cases.

I rented the movie “Gaslight” years ago for our wedding anniversary. I figured, Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman, what could go wrong? Mrs. Sivana suggested to me, coldly, that “Gaslight” may not have been the best choice for a romantic anniversary movie.
