Projection became a huge fad in 2025.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 22 hours ago

Projection long predates these clowns. The republican party, and the oligarchs and their companies, projected all of their own faults onto their opponents and critics long before any of the current nonsense.

As long as the population trusts these ivy league suits, on tv, on the radio, in academia, that are in league with those monied interests, the perpetrators can accuse others of what they are doing to some effect. It's as simple as that.

People trust the wrong people, and manipulators learned how to play those people. For the oligarchs and their companies, they've went to great expense and cooperated for 50 years to create this alternate reality, and to war against reality itself, to further their business interests. In doing so they created a monster that will further escape their control and destroy them one way and or another, along with the US republic, freedom, our way of life, the value of the dollar, etc. But that's another story.

These current leaders just co-opted, seized control of the machine built by big money working together to further their interests by removing reality from our nation.

so hot right now...
