The disorienting nature of gaslighting.

Then why are the Democrats at a 27% approval rating? Normal people see through all of this.
You are the one in the cult, and pretty soon, the only ones remaining will be the hopeless far-leftists like you.
That election was stolen. Covid was designed to help steal it. Only someone who is retarded or chromosome short or of pure gripes on civilization or purely stupid as to not e aware of politics would think otherwise. If he really tried to install himself, he would have succeeded. He found out who are of the same ilk on all political sides. And it does not mean that you can agree or not agree with people working in that for decades in D.C. Yeah, the election in 2020 was stolen.
In the real world, normal people know that the “felonies” were trumped up charges, pursued by an anti-Trump prosecutor, overseen by an anti-Trump judge, and convicted by an anti-Trump jury given weird directions so as to encourage a conviction.
Most people saw through it, and thus ignored it - which is why Trump is United State President today.
It shows how the vast majority aren’t falling for the Democrats” lies and gaslighting.
Gaslighting is defined as the manipulation of someone into questioning their own perception of reality.
It’s not just impeachments. Republicans are eyeing other ways to rein in federal judges.
House Republicans don’t have the votes to impeach any federal judges. But a growing number of hard-liners is discussing several other legislative options as GOP leaders search for a release valve for the MAGA fury building over recent court rulings checking President Donald Trump.
Top Republicans are likely to put at least one bill, California Rep. Darrell Issa’s “No Rogue Rulings Act,” on the floor in early April, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss scheduling plans. The legislation would crack down on the ability of lower-court judges to issue far-reaching injunctions.
House Republicans have filed impeachment resolutions targeting four district judges, including one this week targeting the jurist who sought to block Trump’s effort to deport alleged gang members to El Salvador. Trump publicly backed the impeachment push, and Musk quickly fanned the flames on X, his social-media platform, calling the deportations ruling part of a “judicial coup.”
But there is widespread recognition inside the House GOP that impeachments — besides being costly in time and political capital — do not have the votes to succeed given Republicans’ narrow majority. That has prompted GOP hard-liners to back-channel with Trump allies on alternatives they could push across the House floor.
“Activist judges, particularly in D.C., think that they are the Trump resistance — the Trump political resistance,” said Mike Davis, a close Trump ally who runs an outside judicial advocacy group. “What they are doing is lawless and dangerous, and it must be stopped.”
I've pointed out a number of times how effective the Right has been in creating specious, counter factual narratives to address political vulnerabilities. Karl Rove was expert at it. Bush had a weakness relative to John Kerry over their respective service in the military. Kerry went to war in Vietnam, George stayed home and pretended to be a pilot in the ANG. So Kerry got swift boated, problem solved. trump's epic corruption and law breaking leading up to the 2024 election needed obfuscation. So the Right fabricated a fiction that he was the victim of persecution.
Darrel Issa, in Orwellian fashion, has introduced a bill named the "No Rogue Rulings Act" to deal with judges making rulings on rogue EO's and directives coming from the regime. How very diabolically clever. Some trump ally said of judges, “What they are doing is lawless and dangerous, and it must be stopped.” I can hardly think of a better way to describe what trump and Co have been attempting. Joe Biden was accused of weaponizing the DoJ because it tried to respond to trump's lawlessness. A preemptive strike to provide cover for trump turning Pam Bondi in to his personal attack dog and protector.

Every utterance coming from the regime requires independent, critical thought. Because the construct it's trying to create doesn't match objective reality. Is a policy induced slowdown in the economy and the resultant decline in the stock market a "healthy correction?" In trumpworld it is. Are rulings blocking the regime's unconstitutional actions coming from "activist judges?" Or is it necessary to discredit the rulings in order to manipulate the public's perception of what is happening.

Kerry made a big deal about his military service.
Thus, questioning it was completely legit.
His fellow commanders had valid complaints.

Democrats have been reduced to this:
nope. Kerry offended his fellow officers when he talked shit on them, back in the day, and they came after him as was their right.

Judge REYES on a tear this morning, telling the Justice Department that she won't be "gaslit" by effort to say their ban on transgender people in the military isn't actually a "ban." She notes SecDef Hegseth literally called it a ban on X. "You're saying one thing in public. You're saying a different thing in court," Reyes said. She's grilling DOJ for any evidence whatosever -- one bit of conrete analysis -- that the transgender ban is addressing an actual problem in the military as opposed to a pretext to discriminate against transgender people.Reyes notes longstanding policies already require military leadership to identify people with debilitating medical conditions and would cover people with gender dysphoria who are unable to serve. "Everything in the record is that it’s a pretext. There is nothing in the record that this was a deliberative process."

In questioning Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz’s military record, Republicans are dusting off a political playbook they last used successfully exactly 20 years ago.
There’s even a name for it: swift boating.
The term — which has since made its way into dictionaries — refers to an unfair or untrue political attack. It gets its name from a Vietnam War veterans’ group’s smear campaign against John Kerry during his 2004 presidential bid.

Their accusations are widely understood to be false. Military records (released by Kerry’s campaign) backed up his combat claims. And while most of the swift boat veterans who spoke out against Kerry did not serve with him directly, the ones who did publicly supported his version of events.
In a 2018 Fresh Air interview, Kerry said his critics “just made things up … left, right and center,” and that the proof his campaign offered was no match for their “alternative facts.”
“The problem was that the right wing got behind this with major funding from some of the very same names who are doing major right-wing funding in the country today,” Kerry said. “And they started to pick up on these alternative facts and pushed them out there in the context of … television advertisements.”
