The surest way to deal with the gaslighting is to starve/suffocate it, and carry on with the business of governance— including building airtight legal cases against the perpetrators while our laws are still in place, so they can be dealt with swiftly, decisively, and permanently— and leave them to all rot away without any personal attention whatsoever, while we work to rebuild our democracy so that it’s stronger than it was before, by including all the voices they wished to silence.. Anything that addresses them directly will only give them the attention they crave and invite them to engage in more of the same wretched behavior. I thought this kind of shit was horrible on a personal scale—but at a national level, it’s absolutely reprehensible. I’m not religious, but I pray we have it in us to weather this crazy storm until it finally passes.
