As always, projection, projection, projection. Project 2025 says this is literally their goal.
The slate of fake electors in 2020 says this was literally their goal. They already tried it. I'm furious that this isn't the only thing we talk about.
Never mind talking about it; I'm furious that the treasonous coup leader wasn't at the end of a rope three years ago.
I dont think people use this term accurately, and it's thrown around pretty often.
In my opinion, musk isn't projecting, hes just a deliberate propogandist. He doesn't believe what he's saying, honestly he knows it's a total BS lie. He's just saying it to energize and sway the cult of dumb-dumbs, many of which will lap it up like hungry puppies.
Projection has a more specific definition which includes denial and actively believing in what you're projecting. Musk is consciously lying and knows it.
Projection
Yes, that's psychological projection.
But in these situations, people are referring to the technique of propaganda projection.
Ah nice, I stand corrected. Thanks for the info
