A “leader” of the same people who’ve bombed abortion clinics, murdered doctors, attempted a coup, and murderously drive into protestors … maintains the #GOP tradition of projection, accusing his victims of being as criminal as his own team.

We’ll never see anyone apprehended for these (cough) “attacks”. Because they did them themselves. They have a LOT of practice doing actual violence and not getting apprehended - a little flashbang on their own sites, which they know quite well, is far easier to pull off than the actual violence they do without getting caught.

4. Projection is a hallmark trait of personality disorders.

Let's always keep this foremost in our minds regarding their rhetoric --

Trump and the establishment GOP are sociopathic.
Trump cannot empathize with another human being -- only his own needs matter.
Trump treats all people as objects -- a means to an end which benefits only himself.
Trump has no sense of conscience, remorse, guilt, shame, or of being at fault.
Trump will never confess to wrongdoing; he only becomes angry if he is caught.

But the one trait which is most telling is PROJECTIVE IDENTIFICATION:

"In psychoanalysis, projective identification is a defense mechanism in which the
individual projects qualities that are unacceptable to the self onto another person
,
and that person introjects the projected qualities and believes him/herself to be
characterized by them appropriately and justifiably." (Melanie Klein)

This is how psychopaths deal with the cognitive dissonance of guilt.
The more emphatic and repetitive the accusations, the worse the underlying offense.

This is why I know with all conviction that Trump himself tried to rig the 2020 election.
This is why I know with all conviction that Trump "won" the election in 2016 by rigging
that election with the help of Russia and state GOP operatives.
This is why I know with all conviction that every accusation he makes about Biden is
a projection of something which he attempted to do, or succeeded in doing.

I don't believe Trump won any of those swing states in 2016. The polls were not wrong.
I don't believe Bush II won his elections, either.

Yet, we are under an endless bombardment of lies and empty accusations that the
election of 2020 was fraudulent and "stolen". It's all Projection.

With every reiteration of his "Big Lie", Trump is telling us about his own guilt.
With every bogus claim, he is screaming: "I tried to steal the election."
