ok this is important to me. gaslighting is not a synonym for lying. it’s a type of lying. if someone says to you “the sky is green,” that’s a lie. if you say “the sky is blue” and they respond “no, it’s green, you’re wrong, your eyes are playing tricks on you” THAT’S gaslighting. the crucial requirement is that they try to convince you not only that you are wrong but that you shouldn’t trust your own senses. that you’re imagining something/hallucinating/dreaming. the abuser is trying to make themselves more of an authority on reality than your own mind, often with the goal of making you reliant on them to tell you “truth” from “fiction.”

also a crucial part of gaslighting:

the gaslighter has to know they are giving you incorrect information. they have to know, on some level, that they are manipulating you. If someone is giving you bad information because THEY have bad information, because their eyes and ears and perception can’t be trusted, it’s important to know that. That’s not gaslighting, it’s just the other person being wrong. It does happen.

it’s also used to describe abuse within some type of personal relationship, not something done by a random on the internet or by a politician

YES This is why I feel so uncomfortable when people say Donald Trump is gaslighting the American people. I mean, certainly some elements are there, but in traditional gaslighting it’s a relationship of dependence (parent/child, partner/partner, elder/caregiver, etc.). With Trump, for instance, saying “I never called John McCain a loser” EVEN THOUGH IT IS ON TAPE, there’s just not that element of total control. We have a whole free press that’s there, reassuring us he’s wrong. It’s not gaslighting; it’s just straight up lying.

So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.
