- "Democrats like to project and accuse others of crimes and misdeeds they themselves do"
Here's something to consider about liberals, and conservatives.
- "A defense mechanism in which the individual attributes to other people impulses and traits that he himself has but cannot accept.
It is especially likely to occur when the person lacks insight into his own impulses and traits."
- "The externalisation of internal unconscious wishes, desires or emotions on to other people.
So, for example, someone who feels subconsciously that they have a powerful latent homosexual drive may not acknowledge this consciously, but it may show in their readiness to suspect others of being homosexual."
- "Attributing one's own undesirable traits to other people or agencies, e.g., an aggressive man accuses other people of being hostile."
- "The individual perceives in others the motive he denies having himself.
Thus the cheat is sure that everyone else is dishonest.
The would-be adulterer accuses his wife of infidelity."
- "People attribute their own undesirable traits onto others.
An individual who unconsciously recognises his or her aggressive tendencies may then see other people acting in an excessively aggressive way."
- "Projection is the opposite defence mechanism to identification.
We project our own unpleasant feelings onto someone else and blame them for having thoughts that we really have." - Individual A assumes that B sees the colour red as he does, until informed that B is colour-blind;
- Someone who never lies is easy to deceive because he projects his truthfulness onto others, assuming that others are honest also;
- ‘It takes one to know one’;
- An inept con-man fears that others are trying to cheat him, signals his fear and alerts others;
- (Freudian) An individual who possesses malicious characteristics, but who is unwilling to perceive himself as a protagonist, convinces himself that his opponent feels and would act the same way.
The liberal's problem is psychological projection. Liberals do this all the time.
Here's a definition.
- Freudian Projection
The following is a collection of definitions of projection from orthodox psychology texts.
In this system the distinct mechanism of projecting own unconscious or undesirable characteristics onto an opponent is called Freudian Projection.
And here's a problem with honest people.
- (General) Projection
Here projection is assuming that others act or perceive similarly – according to this definition it is not necessary for a projected trait to be undesirable or unconscious.
Projection is probably inherent in social animals and the single most important psychological mechanism.
The following are given as examples:
Liberals constantly project their own vile values onto conservatives, intentionally or unintentionally,
and they need to be called on it, be shamed on it, and be laughed at to scorn, when they do it.
We MUST get rid of these evil people.
