It's called projection. Blame others for what you're guilty of.

Youre right, they do project, but its an actual tactic they use. I believe it was in "Rules for Radicals" but I may be wrong. It works as an offensive and defensive manoeuvre simultaneously. In contrast, projection is a psychological term.

You are correct. It is a tactic. If they call you racist first, then you can't call them racist back. If they call you a russian agent first, then you can't call them a russian agent back. etc etc.

You're right! It's so much more nefarious than a psychological phenomenon.

They’ve been accusing others of undermining democracy. I wonder if they might be guilty of something like that themselves.
