The word with Liberals is PROJECTION -- a personal story.

Posted on 10/14/2018 8:45:57 AM PDT by BEJ

Everything liberals accuse the right of doing has been done by them: collusion with Russians, mob behavior, lack of civility, being dictatorial, lying, etc. The list is endless. This is can also happen on a personal level with liberal friends. Here is my story.

I went to my liberal friend for a couple of drinks and to chat on a Friday night. Another liberal friend of his dropped in. Conversation naturally turned to Trump. Over the course of discussing Trump voices were getting louder and I was finding it hard to speak with two voices shouting me down. Then my friend stood up and I started to stand up when he came toward me, jumped on top of me with his hands around my throat and screaming "YOU ARE OUT OF CONTROL!!!" I finally wrestled him off and circled around the room shouting at him, "You're a F****** moron!" And then he screamed "Get out you TRUMPSTER!!!" and starts to cry a bit (maybe realizing he lost a friend). I shrugged and left.

But what struck me was that he had to come across the room to shut me down from saying anything because in his mind "I was out of control." The fact was that he lost control of the argument and then felt he lost control of the situation to the point where he had to physically act. This is projection on a person level.

I'm curious if anybody has a similar story they would like to share.

I am no longer talking to certain members of my family, no longer welcome in their home. They can’t talk rationally, and if you disagree, you are a racist and a bigot.

I’ve already stated that posts 6 and 4. It did occur to me.

Your mistake is having liberal friends.

What happened to you is a great example of why I don't have any liberal friends. At all. None.

I chose to start eliminating them from my social circle and life about 20 years ago.

Life has never been more peaceful and pleasant than it has been with no liberals to deal with.

Liberals ruin and destroy everything they touch. Good riddance.

Nation in a bottle — I hope it’s not a bottle of booze because that can intensify that some.

You are not the only person to have liberal friends or family who want to hurt you. My liberal family members are very well aware that they would most likely spend a night in jail if they ever physically touched me. I suspect it is also why they have never touched me even though I have experienced more than one yelling and/or crying fit from a family, leftist liberal.

Thank you for posting your experience.

I am not sure you should have not filed charges for Assault & Battery. Your friend became totally unhinged without cause.

I bet what happened is as the conversation, “Argument”, went forth your friend could not support or defend his positions and that is why he came unglued.

Now you amplify this Hysteria and Violence by a 1000 fold by 2020 and this is where things will be. People are going to get killed.

Yeah and for all their supposed “open mindedness” they don’t learn. It’s about group think and double downing — sad.

Sorry your friends remain unenlightened.
But that is a funny illustration of how they function.

It has long long long long been true that most of the liberal attacks on conservatives are projections. That's why we're often left thinking 'where the hell did they come up with that accusation.'

We don't think we're prefect, but the accusations come out of left field for us.

It's because, if you are a thief, and you lose something or lose at something, your first inclination is to accuse others of stealing it.

When you paint the world negatively, you will pick the colors you know. When you paint it positively, same thing.

So every liberal attack, especially the ones that seem like they come out of left field, are liberals painting negatively. But the colors they use tell us everything we need to know about them. If you look past the negativity of the painting, and instead just focus on the colors used in the painting ... they are telling you all about themselves and their inner worlds.

Since the media, universities and teacher's unions are all very close to 90% liberal, they are naked. Everything they accuse you of, so long as you don't get distracted defending yourself, tells you all about them.

Best to not argue, but say 'is that so?' and encourage them to keep criticizing you as if you are listening. Without knowing it, they will tell you all about their inner and outer life.

Also, they are herd animals, so unlike conservatives who are pretty much individuals and just want to be left alone, they haven't arrived at most of their conclusions on their own. It's more like they are paper towels ... their color depends on what they just mopped up. So partially they are telling you about themselves, but partially they are telling you about the collective entity. It's hard for us to understand because we might as well be a different species.

If you look at nature, even within species, certain roles are delegated genetically to some and not others. The lefties got the gene where their unit of identification is the group. The group is the "I". That's the fundamental difference.

They are like one big dead zombie made out of millions of people. Very sad, not really alive.
