25. There is a lot of mental triangulation being seeded into discussions here

in an attempt to weaken our minds.

For example, they will take a small portion of a position you post and absolutely magnify it to trounce you with some accusation. This is a logical fallacy of blowing it out of proportion. You are being conditioned to not say that again anywhere.

Another example is whining and subsequent accusations of having crossed a line into insulting them. You don't know what you're talking about in other words. I'll offer a recent example. I think I'm being accused of far more than I stated here. https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=1367035

It's all based on gaslighting - undermining your integrity and resolve. So we can use such tactics out in the world, on other social media, on message boards too. Throw the US Constitution at them. Cite sources that they respect, military leaders, Republicans, who break with Trump here and there. Ask what they plan to do when Trump comes to gas THEM.

This is a war for our souls and minds. It is being waged every day. It is not reassuring to see troops and steel walls around the White House because it sounds like he's not leaving and is prepared to lockdown civil rights with military precision if it conflicts with his desire to remain in office.
