    I get that and I was refer to what cuerdo had as not true he had as part " denying something the other person knows is true" which is what I see people doing. I feel something you say is against what I know is true and so your gaslighting. Its actually sorta turned around because its about someone lying about things they know are not true and manipulating things to make their lies seem truthful.

      The only way it would be gaslighting is if the dems were questioning their own comments.

      And they aren’t.

      He’s just being a hypocritical lying dick. Not the same thing.

        yeah I was never even commenting on the appropriateness of using it with vance but I think often they know they are lying and do try to manipulate the narrative. In this instance its hard to say but im willing to say they do it overall.

        The attempt at gaslighting doesn’t need to be successful for it to be called gaslighting
