Trump taught themPsychological projection means making accusations towards others of those negative traits and motives and actions that a person actually possesses themselves. I first noticed it among right wingers when occasionally listening to Rush Limbaugh over 25 years ago. As an example, he often called liberals “hateful” when it was quite clear that each and every program of his was filled from start to finish with hatefulness TOWARDS liberals. Unfortunately, his cult then learned from him to do the same, with the result that basically every right winger that I have come across internet chat rooms since that time engage in projection on an almost constant basis. They simply cannot make a post without making negative accusations toward liberals that they clearly possess themselves. Most of them are extremely dedicated to insult and ad hom towards other debate chatters who disagree with them. It so also rampant on the programs that they watch and listen to on FOX and right wing hate radio.
I’m sure that you have noticed it too.
Now let the projection from them begin!

And that is exactly why they've convinced themselves that the liberals and the Democrats are all corrupt, because they are all corrupt. And examples are legion. They are convinced a) "we're all the same", b) they hate themselves for being that way. (petty, racists, greedy, etc., etc.) ergo c) they must hate the opposition too. They indulge in the worst possible thoughts about others, and then accuse them - "us" - of being guilty of same. For example, the horrible stereotype that everyone on welfare is only there to take advantage of the system, and milk the government teat.Psychological projection means making accusations towards others of those negative traits and motives and actions that a person actually possesses themselves.

If Conservatives don't like being called hateful then they shouldn't be so hateful, and besides..........If liberals don’t like being called hateful then they shouldn’t be so hateful.
Whataboutism gives a clue to its meaning in its name. It is not merely the changing of a subject to deflect away from an earlier subject as a political strategy; it’s essentially a reversal of accusation, arguing that an opponent is guilty of an offense just as egregious or worse than what the original party was accused of doing, however unconnected the offenses may be.
The tactic behind whataboutism has been around for a long time. Rhetoricians generally consider it to be a form of tu quoque, which means "you too" in Latin and involves charging your accuser with whatever it is you've just been accused of rather than refuting the truth of the accusation made against you. Tu quoque is considered to be a logical fallacy, because whether or not the original accuser is likewise guilty of an offense has no bearing on the truth value of the original accusation.
His rebuttal sounded like "I know I am but what are you?" Some people don't think about how their comments make them look BEFORE posting them.And that is exactly why they've convinced themselves that the liberals and the Democrats are all corrupt, because they are all corrupt.

I recall back during the rise of the tea party, there was an expose done at one of their huge tent rallies where an obviously disproportionate number of tea party folks were riding around on these little electric scooters, including mostly people who were quite fit and didn't need them. The interviewer asked a number of those individuals what their disability was, and they freely offered that they had none, but that since the government was supplementing acquisition of those mobility scooters, they too were entitled, and got them for free! Lesson learned! As soon as any "liberal" program is designed to provide for those less fortunate, the right-wing-nuts project their own greedy, petty feelings on anyone and everyone who might likewise avail themselves due to real need.
Nothing infuriates them quite as much as the fact that someone - anyone - might be getting something from the government that they can't get too. And it's the same rationalization for tax cheats. After all, " everyone does it ... right?"

No. The 24/7 hate coming from right wing news bears the brunt of the blame. People used to coexist fairly peacefully, that has changed dramatically in the last 5-7 years. I see it in the way my Dad talks to me now (24/7 Fox News diet). I see it when I wear a Bernie tshirt to grab bread at the grocery store. I see it when I have to show my ID (Oregon) to buy beer or wine, too…If liberals don’t like being called hateful then they shouldn’t be so hateful.
He probably did more damage (practically speaking) than anyone or anything else.All you need to know about Rightwing projection and hypocrisy and be summed up by Limbaugh railing against drug users and dealers on his show while at the same time he was trading cigar boxes of cash for cigar boxes full of pills.
remarkably ironic coming from a lefty. And demonstrating a total lack of self-awareness.Psychological projection means making accusations towards others of those negative traits and motives and actions that a person actually possesses themselves.

Well, at least you can spell the word truth.Looks like a thread where there will be very little right wing participation since they know they would be fighting the truth......

Truth = psychological projection - lmfao
This is truly a comedy thread.
Is that why left wingers can’t debate?
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION! Thank you for proving my OP!!!!!!!!
I have lots of examples of hate from LEFT Wing news.No. The 24/7 hate coming from right wing news bears the brunt of the blame. People used to coexist fairly peacefully, that has changed dramatically in the last 5-7 years.
“Over the course of the past thirty years, conservative media has created such a perfect wall of lies, that reason can no longer reach conservatives. Conservative propaganda has succeeded in the absolute elimination of reason from the conservative worldview.
Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels famously enjoined his movement to “Accuse the opposition of that which you are guilty,” and conservatism has embraced this with full force.”

One of the most painful moments of my recent sojourn in Trumpland was an exchange I had with Mac, the man I hold, heartrendingly, as the perfect dupe of the conservative movement.Mac is a 52-year-bluevirginia.us

I’m polite and respectful, I have not changed my behavior. But I have been treated pretty bad at times that I shouldn’t have been —nobody should be.
It has never been this bad, and it wasn’t like this 15-20 years ago. At.All.
That's nice. You already started but it's their turn if they want oneNow let the projection from them begin!
