Ignore the Gaslights

"I'd rather be with someone for the wrong reasons than alone for the right ones."
--Amanda Jones (Some Kind of Wonderful)

There can be little doubt that gaslighting is alive and well. If you doubt what you see and think because it conflicts with a media narrative, then you are most likely being gaslighted. 

In the weeks before the election, what I saw suggested that not only was the election going to be close, but that President Trump might win in a landslide. Yet, the media narrative held that Trump had no chance. Polls showed him down 10.

I remember thinking, "How can what I see and think be correct when all of the headlines suggest otherwise?"

In the post election contest, same thing. It's over, claimed the narrative. Trump has no case. 

But there were well-reasoned arguments that suggested otherwise.

Which goes to show that gaslighting works on judges as well.

The lesson: Ignore the gaslights.
