gaslight

Because honestly, it is so counterproductive to allow influential voices to gaslight the country into forgetting the milestones it’s already crossed.

“We are not going to tolerate gaslighting from anyone in the media, from anyone on the other side who is trying to say that it’s the president who is weaponizing the DOJ,” Leavitt said.

“They are gaslighting families into believing that schools are unsafe, when in reality the system already protects students.”

“So that is gaslighting to white people,” she added, “providing them a permission structure to not look at their moral choice and what they’re doing.”

But I think the biggest problem was not reporting abuse; victims were forgiven and often gaslighted.
