Not a good feeling the night before I have to return to work, where I'm sure I'll hear my coworkers say awful things about this mess.

I can’t for the next Democratic president to make the same mistake Remember when Trump said yesterday that the reason Obama didn’t appoint judges is because he was lazy?

Ricofoley Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I have no idea why it's called gaslighting, but I've always understood it to mean exactly this--acting comforting to a victim in a fake and condescending way while explicitly lying about what happened.

It's from an early 20th century play called Gaslight where a man tries to convince his wife / her friends that she is insane. I believe he does this by lying, changing things in their house, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Until Trump, I wouldn't have realized gaslighting was a unique and prevalent psychological tactic that deserves it's own term. 1 minute ago, SFLUFAN said: ...What?... Wittes has been one of those "disagree with him politically, but think he's a great guy" people. I also assume the important part of what he is getting at is that last sentence. After parsing the legalise, I think Wittes is saying that even he, as a supporter of Kavanaugh, is troubled by Kavanaugh's fairly transparently false statements presented as exculpatory. Like, perhaps, the insultingly bad explanation for what he really meant by Devil's Triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
