When the shifting of blame or a bad trait onto someone else is unconscious, it’s a psychological defense mechanism, a symptom of neurosis.

When it’s conscious, it’s called lying.

Either way, they are not good traits for the democRATS to have. They're either neurotic and liars.

I pulled the definition from my search engine search for "projection" and edited it down for the meme.

The longer version is:

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which one’s ego defends itself against one’s own words and actions by denying their very existence in oneself and attributing them to others through blame shifting. For example, a bully may project their own feelings of vulnerability onto the target and can manifest as shame dumping.

Thanks for responding and your input.
