We also need to remember that despite Putin's interference with the election, GOP voter suppression techniques like "Crosscheck" and Republicans tampering with electronic voting machines, Hillary Clinton STILL would have won the election were it not for FBI Director James Comey's Oct. 28 letter full of lies sent to Congress..(11 days before the election)...a CLEAR violation of the 1939 Hatch Act.
HRC was 11 points ahead of Trump in the polls after the Access Hollywood tape came out
("I grab 'em by the pussy"
..but she immediately lost most of that lead after Comey's treasonous letter was sent to GOP Congressional leaders.
Re: the term "Gaslighting" (Wikipedia)
"Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or members of a group, hoping to make targets question their own memory, perception, and sanity.
Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, it attempts to destabilize the target and delegitimize the target's belief."
The term owes it's origin to "Gas Light" a 1938 play, and 1944 film directed by George Cukor in which a husband (Charles Boyer) slowly manipulates his wife (Ingrid Bergman) into believing that she is going insane.
