When you try to convince someone they're crazy.

Unless you're a slimy leftist then it's just a headline buzzword i.e. Trump is Gaslighting the Trans Community Through Verbal Violence

Oh. I can never tell what it means through context probably because it is mostly slimy leftists using it.

Can you give some examples of actual gaslighting of the past or future?

well I saw a wiki article and it was fucking complicated
you can't just "gaslight" someone in five miniutes
it's like brainwashing where over the course of time you make someone question their own sense of reality
It;s named after a movie. So maybe we can make other movie titles into verbs. That guy totally dude-where's-my-carred him
