Democrats Project their own Character Flaws onto Republicans
American Thinker ^ | 23nJul, 2020 | John Leonard

Has anyone else noticed that Democrats routinely accuse Republicans of being guilty of what they have been doing themselves? The term projection was first introduced into psychology by Sigmund Freud.

SNIP

For example, Democrats love to frequently accuse Republicans of being racists and white supremacists. But it was Democrat and former Ku Klux Klan Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd who personally filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for more than fourteen hours. While it is true that a slim majority of Democrats supported that landmark piece of legislation, the percentage was only about 60/40 or so. The fact is the bill only passed because of overwhelming Republican support (80/20). The Democratic Party was the original home of the KKK.

It was the Democrat President Woodrow Wilson who made the racist film Birth of a Nation the first movie ever screened in the White House. It is a well-known fact the Republican Party was literally formed by abolitionists who were vehemently opposed to slavery. Many of the statues recently torn down by violent protestors, especially those of Confederate generals, represent Democrats who supported slavery. Yet even contemporary Democrats like Ralph “Blackface” Northam have their own issues with racism. Never forget that it allegedly was LBJ himself who said that he’d have “blacks” (though he used the “N” word) voting for Democrats for the next 200 years after leading the effort to get the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed. Bull Conner was a Democrat. Selma was an atrocity committed by Democrats. Let me remind you that LBJ was notorious for using similar language on a regular basis, even though Snopes has rated the LBJ claim as “unproven,” which means it’s almost certainly true. Even the self-proclaimed “fact checkers” have become experts at spinning bad behavior when done by Democrat politicians.

Hillary orchestrated collusion with Russia in order to accuse Trump of collusion and it was her and other democRATs that interfered the most in the election.

This is 100% true and is not just a saying. But I"m not sure it's projection, or at least not unconscious psychological and individual projection.

Instead, it's a strategy.

They are very conscious of their sins, which they consider justified either out of pure ambition or taqqiya or in many cases they are have a purely sociopathic relationship to those affected by the aims and actions.

But the point is, projection is a strategy. If you are robbing a store, get the media to accuse the store owner of embezzlement. Make it complex, interesting and tawdry ... and plausible.

Nobody is looking at what you are doing.

So it's a strategy when it comes to the leadership, and that is EXACTLY why SO OFTEN you see projection. It's not 'a common psychological phenomenon' ... it's part of the plan. Hence, you see it on almost everything they are doing.

You don’t have to examine history to see that they are racists. Every time they infantilize people that aren’t of European descent, or demonize those who support individual rights, supposedly because of their color, their racism is in full display.

I think you are right, probably 95% of the time it is strategy.

...and as someone said here yesterday, it was during the civil rights movement that John Lewis was beaten BY DEMOCRATS!

Then he turned right around and became a Democrat!

It’s an axiom. Whatever the Democrats are accusing the Republicans of doing, the Democrat’s themselves are doing. Listen and learn. They always tell us what they are up to, if we are smart enough to pay attention, and act on what we are hearing.
