October 31, 2024Projection was grown from Clockwork Orange, Rise of the Fall, and Daisy-Chain
T he controversy surrounding the 2024 U.S. presidential election has intensified, with candidates employing increasingly divisive moral rhetoric to appeal to their bases.
Many of Trump’s supporters, while not necessarily liking him and varying in their admiration, see him as a necessary "Boogie Man"—a controversial figure they believe is essential to combat what they perceive as the evils of a corrupt government.
But this month Trump and his allies have ramped up their rhetoric to alarming levels, reminiscent of the darkest chapters in history. Their claims of widespread voter fraud and threats to jail political opponents are not just baseless but dangerous projections of their own intentions.
When Trump and his allies accuse others of cheating or rigging the election, it's hard not to see it as a reflection of their own strategies and intentions. This psychological projection serves to muddy the waters between fact and fiction, making it increasingly difficult for citizens to discern reality from propaganda.
The groundwork for contesting an unfavorable election result has been meticulously laid out, with efforts to manipulate polls and betting sites to create a false narrative of Trump's inevitable victory. This coordinated campaign of misinformation and fear-mongering is designed to undermine the very foundations of democratic processes.
Trump's recent announcement of a "secret plan" to overturn the election reflects his assumption that the Republican Party will prioritize his interests over its own, yet the law and a growing number of party members are unlikely to support his efforts to subvert democracy, regardless of his ability to humiliate them.
