Clip from the Dark Horse Podcast on Demented president and bald-faced lies, with the transcript below of Heying reading a comment received and Weinstein responding:
Heying: "It disturbs me when someone openly lies (Biden’s dementia, Hunter’s laptop). They stare me in the face their eyes tell me they can see I know they’re lying, but they lie anyway."
Weinstein: "I think this is why the term “gaslighting”, which is frankly not perfectly, it’s not precise for most of what people use it for, but there are very few things that properly connote the way somebody shifts the burden that comes from seeing reality onto the person who seeing reality. And so the person who will lie to your face and basically leave you in a bind: You know, do you really want to be accusing an old man of having dementia? Well no, nobody does. The fact that is, this is fricking inhumane that someone put him in a situation in which we in the public have to say, we’re entitled to a non-demented president. Right. That’s not a nice thing to say. As much as I think Biden is corrupt, political operative, a hack, I don’t want to be saying about an old man that I think he is demented. I want to be able to have the polite fiction that he’s as sharp as he ever was and not to have to do that. But you put somebody like that in a position of power, we have to talk about it.
So anyway, somebody is using the rules of polite society against us. Where we become mean jerks for pointing out that our president has dementia. So you’re just damned if you do and damned if you don’t. The person who lies to your face knows that you can see they’re lying and is putting, is basically trusting that the complexity of calling them out is so great that you won’t do it. Right?
The person who does that, they have availed themselves of an illegal tool kit and I agree it is particularly galling, and so you know the problem is we have very few things that really evoke it. And Gaslight, this movie that I think most of us have never seen, gets there because the idea is, your powers of perception are going to be used against you, they’re going to get gamed and you will not know which way is up. And we all face analogs of that too frequently now."

Uncle Saul's Rules. It's the only way the Lefties can win.
And, yes, the day will come when the ladies and gentlemen get fed the Hell up and start decorating lampposts and trees with them.
My guess is we're about halfway there.
Maybe a little more.
Halfway seems about right to me. Convictions are still being stirred and haven't settled yet.
In memory of my mom, who always made lime Jello in individual single-serving sized molds for Easter feasts), the hot water's already been poured into the bowl to dissolve the mix, and the ice cubes have been added. We're currently at the national stage of waiting and watching for what's been activated to start thickening, before removing what's left of the cubes and pouring the green mess (complete with chopped up vegetables!)into the molds to set up and become firm in the refrigerator overnight before being ready to serve. On a bed of lettuce, no less, with a dollop of mayo slightly thinned with cream on the side.
