A man attacked the husband of congresswoman Nancy Pelosi with a hammer, almost killing him. Charlie Kirk laughs about it. He says anyone who bailed out the attacker would be a great patriot (files.catbox.moe)

Yes, projection is a core skill on the right. That doesn't mean both sides are the same by any means. Facts and truthful arguments are a thing.

You know, I'm starting to think it's not just projection but actually implementing the "law of power" along the line of "accused your enemy of what you're doing, as you're doing it."
