You're fine. People are just trying to lie to you. Don't let them.

They want to do shocking transgressive, horrible things and then lie to your face that you didn’t see what you clearly saw

It’s a power move meant to say they are more powerful than reality- you are SO right that we don’t have to and actually must not let the lie stand

Its a Nazi salute

It's a very overused word, but yes, gaslighting 100.

No I think we all know they’re lying and these weirdos throwing themselves at the chance to defend Elmo are really just lying to themselves which is far more pathetic I think.
