Trump's call to @GaSecofState highlights the intersection of "Trickle Down Pathology", the emasculinization of the rule of law, and a gaslighting technique I describe as "the manipulation of the interaction timeline".

2) @GaSecofState, perhaps as a result of wanting to protect himself...as well as American Democracy...learned his lesson after taking a phone call from @LindseyGrahamSC, refused to take Trump's first 18 phone calls (attempts to commit voter fraud). 2/

3) Finally, relenting, and taking Trump's call...... Raffensperger recorded the call and publicized it only after Trump attacked him and the process. 3/

Predictably, Trump and the Right Wing Echo Chamber immediately went into gaslighting mode in an attempt to "manipulate the interaction timeline". Here is a breakdown of how it works: 4/

The Raffensperger call is the most recent example of the Right's attempt to gaslight and "manipulate the interaction timeline", by focusing on the reasonable response by both Raffensperger, and the 50+% of the country that still values the rule of law/democratic elections....12/
.....by attempting to focus on and demonize Raffensperger's/society's reasonable reaction.

As alluded to in the initial tweet, the attempt to "manipulate the interaction timeline" has now intersected with masculinity.

However, as seen w/the Right's reaction to Raffensperger releasing a recording of the President of the United States attempting to extort election fraud and undermine the integrity of democratic elections....The Right is now emasculating the rule of law 15/

The emasculinization of the rule of law is just one of countless examples of how "Trickle Down Pathology" has infected society as result of having someone as pathologically disordered as Trump occupying the oval office. 16/
