Why do Democrats like to gaslight so much?

They open our borders in the 60's and 40 years later claim they always been open. They point to the poem on the statue of liberty about taking in the "tired and hungry" but that poem isn't original it was put there later on and it was written by a communist. They ban automatic weapons in the 80's and 20 years later claim automatic weapons always been banned and then they call semi automatic rifles "assault weapons" to create fear and support for a ban as it makes people think there's still legal automatic weapons. I'm sure there's other examples but those are the most obvious examples and don't feel like doing research for a simple Yahoo answers post.

    Anonymous is right. It's the 'questioning sanity' thing. That said, what you're describing IS gaslighting so Anonymous is WRONG to say that you're not describing gaslighting. You're also describing someone disagreeing with themselves. 

    Basically, Democrats, progressives anyway, don't really care about being honest. 

    Not even a little. 

    I think that they think that they can MAKE truth by playing games with words. I think that they think that that makes them 'smart' instead of delusional. 

    As for you gaslighting, no, you're pointing out that Democrats are liars and that they disagree with themselves and try to make people believe something that conflicts with what they earlier said. What you're describing IS gas lighting. You're just pointing it out. DOING gaslighting doesn't mean someone is insane, only dishonest. 

    Like Anonymous was doing when he/she/it/whatever answered this question.

    The definition of REPUBLICAN: 

    a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment, often evoking in them cognitive dissonance and other changes including low self-esteem.

    Huh. That's the same definition for gaslighting.

    They don't

    gaslight: manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity.

    You're doing that now.

    It doesn't matter where the phrase on the statue of liberty came from.

    Too many people have died because of assault or high power weapons.  Weapons are supposed to be for self defense.  Having a weapon that can kill 20 people a minute is not 'self defense'. It's madness and the only reason why they are available is because the gun companies and the NRA own too much of the government.

    The government is supposed to serve not control.
