5. It's not "projection",

It's much more sinister than that.

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism. The project-or tends to believe in their own innocence.
" In its malignant forms, it is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against disowned and highly negative parts of the self by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others"
"malignant" here in the sense of disease.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection


What Trump, QANON, and the Reich wing in general practices is what I call goebbeling, after Hitler's propagandist Joseph Goebbels, who advised Nazis to accuse the opposition of what Nazis were planning. This is much closer to "every accusation is a confession".
From wiki, " a person accuses others of what he or she does or wants to do"
Wiki calls it "accusation in a mirror".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusation_in_a_mirror

For a short, convenient, and appropriate term, I call it goebbeling.

6. +1. And it works great for a cult

The cult leader is the victim and must be protected at all costs

7. Worked for Hitler,

works for trump. The Reich wing is great at playing victim.
He may actually have some (or a lot) of the psychopathology described in the Projection piece, but he uses it like a mob boss - or Goebbels.

I'd love to see some journo ask him about Goebbels or goebbeling to his face.

11. Worked for Hitler...

...until it didn't work anymore!

If only it would quit working for Trump. *sigh*

[orthoclad]

12. It stopped working after

around 40 million people died.
