It is gaslighting when you say "I want an apology" and you get it (acceptance speech + visiting White house graciously) and then you say "nope... that isn't enough! you should have done something else or something different." Its gaslighting because you know that no matter what you will never get over it.
You do not understand the words "apology" or "gas lighting"

Its not any different than when your are in an abusive relationship and the abuser keeps saying I will stop if you only did/said the right thing (i.e., its your fault I'm abusing you). In this example the right wing folks are being abused by the left wing folks. Anyone who says they don't see the analogy are being, at best, purposefully obtuse.
I understand what OP is saying.

They are gaslighting. I've watched and listened closely to the left and I've concluded that no matter want anyone on the right says of does it will never satisfy the left. I do not find that they are honestly looking for outreach from the right.
I think those on the right, including Trump, should call it for what it is and refuse to chase them down that rabbit hole.
NOTE: I noticed that Trumps speech on election night was very solemn and low key. He didn't brag or make any inflammatory comments. I noticed that Hillary's speech used code words and culminated in a rally cry for women and girls to stand against misogyny. These are two very different approaches and the second was not conciliatory.
