Gaslighting is the practice of manipulating an individual or group, by psychological means, into questioning their own sanity. Another commonly known term is, “projecting” which is the tactic of attributing one’s own unacceptable urges or behavior to another.

Projecting or gaslighting as described is the first line of defense for your average 3 year old who has just broken a vase by throwing a ball in the house, and it’s the last resort of a political party under the leadership of a daft old coot who knows that he and his party are about to lose an election because they’ve done everything wrong, and even their own once solid voting base is crumbling away.

Little Joey didn’t break the vase…little Donny did it.

Case in point – Just a week or so ago, from the podium in the White House briefing room, Karine Jean-Pierre projected onto Donald Trump what the Biden regime has been doing for the past 2 years regarding our education system.  After the National Assessment of Educational Progress showing that 9-year-olds in the U.S. had lost ground in math and reading due to the pandemic, Jean-Pierre stated “how mismanaged the pandemic was and how the impact of that mismanagement had on the kids’ progress and academic well-being.” Jean-Pierre blamed school lockouts on the Trump administration and claimed that it was only due to Biden that schools reopened.

That’s gaslighting AND projecting.

Did schools close under Trump? Yes. Did Trump try to get them all reopened. YES. In fact, in July of 2020, Chris Cillizza penned a piece in which he highlighted what HE felt were “the very clear dangers of Donald Trump’s push to reopen schools.” Cillizza was just parroting the standard liberal line as any good propagandist working for state-run mainstream media would, but he wasn’t alone. Teachers unions were working with the CDC to keep schools closed throughout the manufactured COVID pandemic panic.

In fact, a  joint statement by House Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the ranking Republican on the coronavirus panel, and Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee read in part, that under Biden, the CDC “overrode routine practice to allow a radical teachers union that donated millions of dollars to Democrat campaigns to bypass scientific norms and rewrite official agency guidance,” and they provided the documents to prove it.

Even today, in some liberal enclaves, and despite the mountain of evidence proving that school lockouts and mask mandates have done not one thing to help kids and lots of things to hurt them, some schools still aren’t allowing unvaxxed kids through the doors, and they’re making kids keep their masks on.

Liberals want you to BELIVEVE that it was all the fault of Donald Trump even though thy know the truth. Gaslighting, projection of abject BS – call it what you will, but according to liberals…little Joey didn’t do it…little Donny did.

When gas prices went up in 2018, Chuck Schumer blamed President Trump, By the end of Trump’s 1^st term, gas prices had fallen from an average of $3.50/gallon back to $2.15/gallon, but according to Schumer, Trump deserved no credit. Then Joe Biden destroyed our energy independence and gas prices skyrocketed. At that point, Schumer claimed that presidents don’t control gas prices, Biden blamed Putin and when that didn’t catch on, liberals blamed oil companies…but little Joey had nothing to do with it. It was all somebody else’s fault.

In May of this year, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a 20 page “plan” for how to deal with the border crisis, and in it he wrote that he had, “inherited a broken and dismantled immigration system.” Biden did away with Title 42, which had been the primary reason that the border had seen record low crossings of illegal aliens in the year leading up to the 2020 election. Title 42 was a TRUMP plan, and along with the wall, and the “stay in Mexico” policy gave us the most secure southern border we had seen in DECADES.

Biden suspended Title 42, and “stay in Mexico” thus throwing our border wide open in 2021 and what happened? A tsunami of illegal aliens – more than 2 MILLION so far, have flooded across the border but little Joey didn’t do it…little Donny did.

Quid pro quo with Ukraine? We have Biden on video BRAGGING about HIS quid pro quo with Ukraine, but liberals tried to impeach Trump for it.

That’s gaslighting.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden’s secretary of propaganda was asked by Fox News’ Peter Doocy about Biden’s policy regarding unvaccinated travelers coming into the United States. “Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane. You say that’s not OK. Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated, they’re allowed to stay? Why?” That was the question, and Jean-Pierre’s answer? “But that’s not how it works.” Doocy pressed harder, stating, “That’s what’s happening. I know that’s not what you guys want to happen. But that is what is happening.” Jean-Pierre’s response? “But that’s not it’s not like somebody walks over and-“

That’s gaslighting.

While OUR national economy SHRANK in both the 1^st and 2^nd quarters of this year, and while the International Monetary Fund reported that in 2021, 50 countries showed stronger growth than OUR country showed, there sat Biden on Jimmy Kimmle Live” in June of this year where he said, “Look, here’s where we are. We have the fastest-growing economy in the world. The world. The world.”

That’s gaslighting.

Randi Weingarten, the head of a teachers union that has insisted on locking students out of schools and insisted on prolonged mask mandates, both of which have been extremely harmful to students, and who has pushed for CRT and gender fluid to be part of school curriculum while deriding parents who challenge the liberal indoctrination standards, NOW says that POLITICIANS, not parents have FORCED teachers to become “social justice warriors.”

That’s gaslighting.

All of that brings me to Biden’s rhetoric in front of Liberty Hall just before the Labor Day weekend. Ahead of the speech, the White House claimed it was a speech to promote unity and that is was NOT a political speech. That was gaslighting. Throughout the speech, Biden referred to our “democracy” and how “maga-republicans” are a “THREAT to our democracy.” That’s gaslighting because we are NOT a democracy. We’re a representative republic.

Biden spent the entire speech slamming “maga republicans” as a “threat to democracy.” MAGA stands for “Make America Great Again.” Near the opening of the speech Biden literally said, “These two documents and the ideas they embody — equality and democracy — are the rock upon which this nation is built.  They are how we became the greatest nation on Earth.” Are you seeing the gaslighting there? Biden champions our nation as “the GREATEST nation on earth” and then proceeds to TRASH making America “GREAT” again.

Biden said, “MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards — backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.” That comes on the heels of weaponizing the FBI to spy on American citizens, spy on his rival presidential candidate in 2020, and spy on a sitting president. There is NO move afoot to change marriage rights in this country, and NO move to deny contraception to anyone in this country however…liberals are alluding to a move by Walgreens and CVS pharmacies which allows employees with a religious conflict to not sell contraceptives. And where does THAT come from? It comes from Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which requires companies to accommodate workers’ religious beliefs as long as the request doesn’t create an “undue hardship” on an employer.

That was included in the Civil Rights Act by LIBERALS.

More gaslighting and more projecting.

Biden said, “They look at the mob that stormed the United States Capitol on January 6th — brutally attacking law enforcement — not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger to the throat of our democracy, but they look at them as patriots.” But let’s be honest here…law enforcement, the Capitol Police opened the doors and LET the majority of those people into the Capitol on Jan. 6^th…the ONLY person KILLED on Jan. 6^th was an unarmed Trump supporter shot down by a Capitol cop, and reports of one or two law enforcement officers being beaten to death by those inside the Capitol were discovered to be 100% false. More gaslighting.

Biden claimed it is the so-called “maga republicans” who are figuratively “fanning the flames of political violence” while he completely ignored how those loyal to his own party engaged in violent riots for over a year in blue cities in blue stated who LITERALLY fanned the flames of the arson they committed to burn portions of those cities, and businesses in those cities to the ground…including police stations and court houses.

He completely ignored skyrocketing crime, even in Philadelphia, the city hosting that gaslighting of America speech, the city that now has the nation’s highest rate of violent crime and murder brought about by HIS party’s agenda and policies. He ignored the 2,000 plus cops injured during what those in his party referred to as “the summer of love” riots. Not a word regarding liberal DA’s being soft on crime and releasing back to the streets violent criminals as part of his OWN party’s agenda.

Not a single word from Biden during that gaslighting speech regarding the issue of “wokeness” or censorship by social media to promote HIS party’s propaganda. Not a single word regarding the silencing of his political rivals through HIS party’s intimidation policies. Not one word regarding the two-tier level of justice, championed by HIS OWN PARTY as a way of maintaining power.

ALL of it…MORE gaslighting.

And the setting, out front of Independence Hall, the place where our country was born. Biden, the doddering old fool had to be led to and from the podium by his wife so that he could stand against a backdrop painted in blood-red light and framed by darkness. We have been told that Biden practiced the speech for days, if not weeks, no doubt trying to memorize gestures for emphasis as the speech itself would be on the teleprompter.

The look of it was familiar to anyone who understands history.

There stood a madman desperate to maintain power, mad because so many of his own propagandists, the mainstream media, wouldn’t air it to the public, a man trying to gaslight the people of his nation into questioning their own sanity and projecting his own party’s vile agenda onto his political rivals in a setting meant to intimidate the nation…not unify it. His goal was to appear tough, his goal was to scare people, his goal was to condemn any who dare to stand against him or his party’s agenda by trying to attach to them false labels and attribute to them a false narrative.

He failed in such an epic way that the very next day, Joe Biden engaged in the ultimate gaslighting of America when he said, “I don’t consider any Trump supporter a threat to the country.”

From the speech:

And the ultimate gaslighting? Biden’s words the very next day – “I don’t consider any Trump supporter a threat to the country.”

So, who are the intended targets of Biden’s gaslighting? Democrats who are leaving the party because they have seen for themselves that Trump’s policies were good for the nation as a whole and much better for them individually, and the never Trumpers, those few left in the Republican party who are desperate to hold on to the old establishment’s globalist policies. Biden and his soulless party are so desperate due to their own failures, and because they have no accomplishment on which to base campaigns now, or in 2024, that they have taken up the last resort of a dying political party – gaslighting and projection.

Remember… Projecting and gaslighting are the first lines of defense for your average 3 year old who has just broken a vase by throwing a ball in the house, and are the last resort of a political party under the leadership of a daft old coot who knows that he and his party are about to lose an election because they’ve done everything wrong and even their own once solid voting base is crumbling away.

That’s the bottom line.
