You picked it. "The best description that fits your posting is gaslighting. You believe everything posted is against your agenda thus the opposing point of view is bigoted and personal attacks. You have a knack for convoluting other peoples comments into some sort of aggression against you, no matter how civil it is posted."

conix would understand gaslighting. It's been put to her before. This first post in full

conix, All those words to take the heat off a failure of leadership.

Far from MSM gaslighting it's writers such as that one who are.

Since when is it right to accuse those of bringing notice to a leadership vacuum and a
lack of social conscience during a pandemic of gaslighting. It isn't and should never be.

If other countries are able to manage the virus better than America it's unarguably clear where one serious leadership problem lies.

This one to a different conservative who posted here for a time.

Dealing with people who twist your words

"Tearex, To make it easier for you
[...]
You have twisted my opinion about your voting for a known liar and
cheat into saying it was a direction from me as to how you should vote."

I like a good debate, even if I come to realize I’m wrong. How else do we learn anything? But the quickest way to turn a healthy debate into an unhealthy debacle is to have it with someone who will twist your words around until they mean something else. Then he argues that point, completely ignoring what you really said.

[...]

It’s like saying, “I don’t drink – I just have a couple of glasses of wine every day.” We all lie to ourselves without meaning to, and we can benefit from having people around who call us out on it.

Why do people twist words?

–Sometimes it’s that you’re absolutely right but it’s a truth they’re not ready to acknowledge.

–Sometimes they just like a fight. Some people seem to get energized by a long, pointless argument. I find it draining, and have plenty of better ways to spend my time and energy.

–And sometimes they want to let you know how little your thoughts or feelings matter to them.

How can I stop them?

If you find yourself dealing with that third type, avoid them if at all possible. That’s a form of abuse called “gaslighting”, in which the abuser keeps twisting situations to make you think you are the one who’s being impossible or losing your mind.

This is who they are. They will not stop doing this.
