MAGA Troll

6. "MAGA Trolls now simply accuse the other side of psychologically projecting first "

This is the next level that I have seen too

We all now are well aware of the Right's penchant for using the defense of projecting any crime they have been caught red handed at onto Democrats and liberals in general, with a "whataboutism" argument.

The second level of that is when they project onto Democrats, even before they are caught themselves. Its even more insidious. "The election will be rigged" (If I lose). As then then do everything in their power to actually rig it. It works for them because there are no consequences. Trump used the same tactic for both elections. If he'd have lost the first one, he'd have said "See? I told you it was rigged...STOP THE STEAL!" But he won, so he simply morphed it into the false claim that he also won the popular vote if it had not been stolen from him. But this last election, he lost, so it works on his base at least, to come out looking like he predicted exactly what the evil Democrats would do.

But this is the third level now. I now see comments in places like YouTube (I don't use Twitter or FB) such as...."Its a known fact that Democrats project their own crimes onto Republicans!". Setting up the warped belief and a conditioning in their cult that every accusation made against R's from D's is confirmation that the D's are the ones guilty of said crime. Layers upon layers of deceit.
