A Lesson for Trump losers - Projection; An unconscious self-defence mechanism characterised by a person unconsciously attributing their own issues onto someone or something else as a form of delusion and denial.

Just to give you an idea of how authoritarian Trump Republicans are now, this little exchange caught my eye on Vicki McKenna's Facebook page. I'm seeing the same kind of stuff from my Trumpian idol worshiper in Milwaukee as well. What could be wrong with uniformed adults pulling immigrant children out of school in front of classmates?



Trumpian Projection, the biggest its ever been: 

WSJ: Even before President Trump’s election, hatred had begun to emerge on the American left—counterintuitively, as an assertion of guilelessness and moral superiority ... a hateful anti-Americanism has become a self-congratulatory lifestyle. “America was never that great,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently said.
Of course, if "America was never that great," wouldn't you have to MAGA? This drives me nuts. You'll also notice the tone of this article is flat out ruthless while creating a myth around a non-existent hatred that can only be best described as, wait for it...criticism? Yup, can't have criticism hurting adoring Trump sycophants, pushing a white nationalist agenda:
It began in the 1960s, when America finally accepted that slavery and segregation were profound moral failings. Thus the labor of redeeming the nation from its immoral past would fall on the left ... led to the greatest array of government-sponsored social programs in history—at an expense of more than $22 trillion. 

But for the left to wield this power, there had to be a great menace to fight against If racism was necessarily at the top of the list, it was quickly followed by a litany of bigotries ending in “ism” and “phobia.” The Achilles’ heel of the left has been its dependence on menace for power. 
With white nationalism on the GOP's front burner, isn't it convenient to now pretend racism isn't really a problem? Can't criticize the dumbest, most unqualified narcist lunatic of a president...
Today the left looks to be slowly dying from lack of racial menace. It is driven to find a replacement for racism,  Failing this, only hatred is left. The left has used hate to transform President Trump into a symbol of the new racism, not a flawed president but a systemic evil. And he must be opposed as one opposes racism, with a scorched-earth absolutism. The voices that speak for the left have never been less convincing. It is hard for people to see the menace that drives millionaire football players to kneel before the flag. And then there is the failure of virtually every program the left has ever espoused—welfare, public housing, school busing, affirmative action, diversity programs, and so on.For the American left today, the indulgence in hate is a death rattle.
Yea sure, it's liberals: Who can forget this "happy" idea from the Newt Gingrich 90's:
This document, a working paper from GOPAC, Newt Gingrich's political action committee, was circulated to freshman Republican members of the 104th Congress in 1995. It functions as a rudimentary rhetorical handbook ... with a lexicon of terms that drive a wedge of distinctions between themselves and members of the opposing party. 
Here's a list of "respectful" words to describe Democrats, that have nothing to do with hatred or division...

Republicans Scared of supposed rising Left Wing violence.

The anti-science, anti-education Republican Party are really at a disadvantage when it comes to physics, specifically this part of Newton's Law: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Things were just fine when armed Second Amendment thugs bullied women's anti-gun groups; armed losers scared the daylights out of families in fast food restaurants; those 20 kids and 5 adults mowed down in an elementary school proved we should have had armed guards everywhere; and militia groups formed to take back our country from an power mad unworthy black president.



Bunkerville's Cliven Bundy was a real American hero, and mental health issues explained the shooting of Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords and not the telescopic site markings on a map from Sarah Palin's website. In fact, the right wings pollster Rasmussan Report just posted this unsettling result that proves radicalized conservatives believe they can do no wrong:
Fifty-five percent (55%) of Americans agree politics is to blame for the incident that left one of the GOP’s top House leaders in critical condition and aren’t writing it off as just random violence.

By comparison, just 28% said the shooting of Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the killing of six others in Arizona in January 2011 was the result of political anger.
The baseball shooting that targeted Republicans is an example of Newton's law, and Republicans are freaked out about it. But wait, liberals don't like guns...what happened?
Those who track extremism say that while there are a few far-left groups that raise red flags, their numbers remain small.

Much of the conservatives' anger has been aimed at "Antifa" — short for "anti-fascists." Antifa are loosely affiliated groups of mostly young people; "People are desperate," says one masked counter-protester, a student at Evergreen State who gave his name as Felix. "They see the government turning back to regressive Reaganomics and racist undertones and rhetoric, so once they start kicking 25 million people off health care, then you're going to start seeing riots."

Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism: "The far left is very active in the United States, but it hasn't been particularly violent for some time." 

He says the numbers between the groups don't compare.
"In the past 10 years when you look at murders committed by domestic extremists in the United States of all types, right-wing extremists are responsible for about 74 percent of those murders. You have to go back to the 1970s to find the last big cycle of far-left extremism in the U.S.” 
Here's an important mind blowing thought:
Pitcavage says Wednesday's shooting attack ... is a warning sign. He is especially concerned because the shooter apparently was not particularly extreme in his political ideas; his views were seemingly in the mainstream left.
"One act does not a trend make. But I am concerned that, in this highly polarized and divided society, more people who have stances that fall within the mainstream, on the left and right alike, may consider political violence an attractive option."
Domestic terrorism experts say that concern is only heightened by the fact that the line between what's considered mainstream and what's considered fringe is becoming increasingly blurred.
