I agree with this - except that the correct past tense of “to gaslight” is “gaslighted”, not “gaslit”
The verb “to gaslight” isn’t derived from the irregular verb “to light” (simple past: lit). It’s derived from a proper noun: “Gaslight” (the 1940s film adaptations of Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 play “Gas Light”.
So kindly just form the past tense by adding -ed* as you would for any other newly-coined verb derived from a noun eg to film, to video, to eyeball, to holiday, etc (* normal English spelling rules apply)
Yeah, I’m a pedant. And quixotic. So bite me
Corrected version: Looks like the plan is to create an electorate so misinformed & gaslighted that they'd cheer a bucket of cold sick if Johnson wrote 'Brexit Deal' on the side of it in crayon. By my reckoning, we're approximately half way there already.
This is how it’s done
