The gaslighting attempts are escalating--the spin, the propaganda, the twisting of the truth to fit a narrative--is so prevalent it is now normalized. It seems that some believe if they say something enough, even if it is false, they can make it true. At the very least, they seem to be able to make it believable to some. And NONE of us are exempt from being impacted by it. It is why now, more than ever, we must work to resist cognitive dissonance, disconnect from any tribalism that contributes to blind trust, ask questions, search for the truth ourselves, JUST THINK, and feel free to speak our minds. This week, we "fact check" the "fact checkers" on some hot topics. Now that election season is at hand, you better believe the attempts to manipulate you with fear and anger will escalate, and you need to be prepared to combat this with clarity and the truth.
