The narcissistic DC Swamp is gaslighting Americans again

STARRS

For a long time, Americans have been gaslit by the narcissistic snob establishment “elites” in DC running the country and their propaganda media arm: the mainstream media (let’s call all of them the Swamp). As a definition, here is just one from HelpGuide with annotations:

Gaslighting is an insidious and sometimes covert form of emotional abuse, repeated over time, where the abuser (Swamp) leads the target (Americans) to question their judgments, reality, and, in extreme cases, their own sanity.

It’s a type of psychological manipulation in which a gaslighter—the more powerful person in a relationship (Swamp with its control over media, education, culture, entertainment, etc)—tries to convince you that you’re misremembering, misunderstanding, or misinterpreting your own behavior or motivations, thus creating doubt in your mind that leaves you vulnerable and confused.

Gaslighting is always a creation and interplay of two people: A gaslighter, who needs to be right to preserve their own sense of self and to keep a sense of power in the world; and a gaslightee, who is manipulated into allowing the gaslighter to define their sense of reality because they idealize (or have long given authority to) the gaslighter and seek their approval.

Gaslighters (Swamp) are narcissists and the Mayo Clinic lists how they are, among many things:

• Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration.
• Expect to be recognized as superior
• Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people.
• Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important.
• React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior.

Essentially these people (Swamp) are constantly putting other people (Americans) down, demeaning them, making accusations, telling them they are stupid and don’t know anything, projecting their faults on to the other person, keeping them isolated, etc.

Americans, especially those on the conservative side, have suffered this abuse for a long time. They’ve been beaten down, called all sorts of names (racists, haters, Hitler, etc), canceled, threatened, dismissed and censored. They’ve been told they are wrong for wanting normal things and shamed into treating amoral weirdness with “dignity & respect”.

They’ve been made to feel their beliefs and views are unpopular and not what everyone else thinks. Why? Because the abuser thinks they are superior and beats down the abused enough in order for the abused to give their authority to the abuser. Power and control over others.

Then Election Day came along.

The abuser (Swamp) found out that the vast majority (Americans) rejected the abuser and did not listen/obey them. Nearly the entire map of America turned red and the abusers, with their blue pockets of strongholds in cities, were absolutely stunned.  For a short time, they were silenced and bewildered that the majority of Americans had the audacity to stand up to them.

Those who were so long abused found they were not alone in their beliefs and frustrations and anger. They stood with authority and confidence and hope for a brighter future without the abuse because they are the majority. The newly-elected President began nominating the most amazing group of people who would stand up and fight against the abusers (Swamp) and the corrupt deep state system mainly concerned with power and money.

Because sociopaths don’t change overnight, the abusers (Swamp) went quickly back to their abusive ways even more aggressively to put-down, demean, belittle the abused (Americans) in order to get them back under their power and control again.

In light of all of the above, you can now clearly see the psy-op they are doing with the below news headlines, attempting to gaslight you once more. The Swamp is desperate to keep their power and will do and say anything, lie, exaggerate, twist words to get you questioning and doubting yourself, other Americans, the new President and his nominations. Don’t fall for it again.

From a site called ESA Alliance: “The ultimate goal of gaslighting is to control and dominate the victim by making them dependent on the manipulator’s version of reality.”

Their reality only exists when you give it credence by believing in it.
