Lidia Curanaj laid it out plainly on Newsmax: Democrats gaslight Americans every single day, and she’s not whispering—she’s calling out a pattern of deception that has cost working families dearly. Curanaj’s rise to a national platform gives ordinary patriots a voice against the Washington machine, and she uses that platform to name the propaganda for what it is. Conservatives should be grateful someone in the mainstream is refusing to play by the media’s rules and telling people the truth.
When Curanaj says “gaslighting,” she means the steady drumbeat from Democrats and the legacy press insisting everything is fine while Americans are hurting and borders are porous. That’s exactly the sort of misdirection she’s condemned on air, pointing out how the narrative is shaped to distract from rising crime, the drug flood at our southern border, and relentless inflation. The same networks that cheered for years of failed policies now try to convince the public the crisis is a figment of conservative imaginations.
Look at how Democrats trumpet “progress” on the economy while kitchen-table realities tell a different story; the White House touts falling inflation as proof the crisis is over, but millions of Americans still struggle to make ends meet. President Biden and his advisers have repeatedly said inflation is coming down, yet everyday Americans still feel price pain and doubt the rosy headlines. That disconnect is the very definition of political gaslighting—talk up statistics while families see grocery bills and gas prices that tell another tale.
On the border, the contradictions are even starker: administration spokespeople toggle between “progress” and “we must do more,” while Republican lawmakers warn the American people the crisis is real and ongoing. Conservatives aren’t inventing this — they’re pointing to a pattern of downplaying risk and blaming critics instead of securing the country. When elected Democrats and their media partners try to gaslight the public about a broken border, they are choosing politics over public safety.
Newsmax and hosts like Curanaj are filling a void left by compliant legacy outlets, offering an alternative perspective that refuses to normalize failure. Conservative media matters because it forces accountability; it refuses to let comfortable elites rewrite the facts to suit their political narratives. If you want reporting that answers the people instead of soothing the powerful, turn to networks and anchors who will tell you what you need to hear, not what your rulers want you to believe.
Americans of every background deserve honest reporting and leaders who will protect their safety and livelihoods, not spin doctors who gaslight the public to cover mistakes. Lidia Curanaj’s blunt message is a wake-up call: stop trusting a political class that keeps telling you to feel differently about what you see with your own eyes. It’s time for citizens to demand transparency, integrity, and policies that put ordinary patriots first.
Don’t be fooled: gaslighting is a strategy, and it’s working for Democrats because too many Americans still get their news from outrage-driven institutions that care more about party than people. Patriots must reject the lies and support outlets and politicians who tell the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. Lidia Curanaj and other conservatives are doing the hard work of naming the deception; hardworking Americans should keep listening, keep pushing back, and keep the faith that truth still matters in this country.
