This only makes sense when I realize that to conservatives, it’s an identity. They think it’s an identity that Taylor Swift should have because she’s (presumably) white, popular, rich, good looking, Midwestern, Christian, etc.

To them politics is not about ideas, or policies, or problem solving, or good governance. It’s all about identity.

    Yeah, it is for when someone is literally trying to convince you that you are crazy, that things you know are true didn’t happen. Usually found in abusive relationships.

    Fox isn’t convincing people they are crazy. They’re telling people everyone else is and they’re the only same ones, bolstering their confidence, and that drives a false narrative on its own

      It’s called gas lamping… that’s our fun family joke when someone is clearly gaslighting…to correct them by gaslighting. I love my family
