People on the left are being introduced to the Gish Gallop, a debate technique that bombards your opponent with half-truths and lies in order to stun them into silence. It is very effective on people who stutter, as it causes an overload of information which brings out the stutter while the opponent is trying to defend themselves.

Ben Shapiro teaches this form of gaslighting all the time. Trump deployed an overwhelming attack on Biden and CNN framed it in a way that enhanced Biden's very normal reaction to the 2 simultaneous attacks in real-time on live tv. And well, we know what that looks like now.
