Projection by the in-group Over time you eventually see the pattern.  The Left is attributing to the Right what the Left does in spades.  This is projection.  Projection is a defense against the loss of self-esteem.  A person or a group will go to great lengths to avoid the awareness of certain aspects of themselves which are degenerate and immoral.  Projection that takes place in groups is a splitting-off process to create an in-group, in this case the Democrats/Left, who imagine themselves to be free of the disturbing characteristics they attribute to the bad-group (the Right). The Democrat's increasingly vitriolic and angry actions towards the bad-group serve to ward off their growing feelings of incompetence, loss of identity, depression, anger & frustration, and just plain evil. How far they will go to maintain their self-esteem by projecting only time will tell. But there is going to be an an uptick in violence as truth grows and justice comes.
