Projection. The fear of being found out.
Why are so many Republican anti-gay politicians gay?
Why are so many Republican tough-on-crime politicians corrupt?
Why are so many Republican think-of-the-children politicians pedophiles?
Projection: if they do it, everyone is doing it: so we have to do something about that.
Fear of being found out: if you are the loudest voice against your own crime, surely nobody will suspect you.
Every accusation a confession.
Okay lets not undersell the bipartisan commitment to corruption🤑
