Something head-spinningly bizarre is going on right now in our troubled nation. Consider:
The presidential candidate who actually “colluded with the Russians” for years, including during the 2016 election, feigns innocence while her party accuses the other candidate – utterly without evidence – of selling out America to Vladimir Putin. The political party that is totally obsessed with race – which insists on hiring, and discriminating against, people solely on the basis of their skin color – accuses those who embrace a color-blind America of being “racists.” The most blatantly fascist group in America – calling itself Antifa, short for anti-fascist – attacks genuine anti-fascists while calling them “fascists.”
You get the idea. It’s called projection.
In psychology, projection is just one of many defense mechanisms people unconsciously employ to avoid facing uncomfortable feelings within themselves – by ascribing these unpleasant qualities to another person.
But in today’s political and cultural battles, projection is a tactic of all-out warfare.
The plain truth is, on issue after issue, one side in the raging war over America’s future is literally accusing the other side of the very attitudes, offenses and crimes of which it itself is guilty.
This phenomenon of political projection is almost never seriously explored, so let’s take a good look.

Projection is just one of the psychological defense mechanisms that progressives have brought into politics.
Have known that for a long time,problem is what do you do about it,it is pervasive,media,Hollywood,education establishment are the purveyors of this,all reinforcing each other.
