Gaslighting only works until people see through it. A neoliberal establishment on both left & right has sold itself as the purveyor of our good & guarantor of our security. Now that it's so totally obvious that that's not true, an awakening is happening & the lights are going on.

Why didn’t you back Bernie instead of running against him?

We’re all as a country being purposefully pushed by our leaders in DC to react in a way that would make their lives so much easier. They don’t want to help they want to f*ck around and find out instead. They’re so afraid of changing anything they’d rather have vigils

I hope you're right, but I tend to think that the way both parties have successfully made politics like team sports over the past decade makes it so people will ignore gaslighting and rally around their "team"

An awakening is important but reform in voting is even more important to make third parties viable. Continuously voting the lesser evil is not helping.

Gaslighting works for both major parties just fine! The voter falls in line every election! We just did it again. Until we show them otherwise it will continue to work just fine, FOR THEM.

This includes taking on the circumcision industry 😐 They’ve robbed us of our quality of life in every imaginable way. For money
