Why does seemingly every accusation from a conservative politician end up being an admission?

[-] GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world 45 points 4 months ago

Simple minds are more prone to projection?

No one seems to care if their Republican politician is covered in shit as long as they are also throwing shit at the same time.

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

It's ok though. The news is always fair and balanced and the media definitely tells the whole story.

Conservative minds are more fear based. Narcissistic, sociopathic minds run for office. Fear based sociopathic and narcissistic minds aren't flexible enough to see something from someone else's point of view and assume that their own view is the only logical choice. Therefore they project.

That's how thoughtless and uncreative they are.

Because every accusation IS a confession.

Always.

Conservative media tells them that the people they don't like are doing bad things every day.

I think this (and often their faith) helps them not feel so bad about projecting.

They tend to think "if I'm doing it, everyone else must be too".

The Republican party is a criminal conspiracy and frustrating and confusing people's judgment is their best legal defense

What if... she made those comments knowing her son was going to be arrested, so she could say to her base that it was a set up/retaliation for what she had said? (Too conspiratorial? )

If a Jerry Springer guest was in Congress

Old adage: when you point a finger at someone else, three are pointing back at you.

[-] YaksDC@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

That's why I only point in a chopping motion. 😉

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

Now with 400% more pointing action!

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Knife hand.

I do it like Walt Disney holding a cigarette.

Gotta be fair handed

[-] CompostMaterial@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

I'm going to be honest. I kinda hope she gets reelected. As far as I can tell the only thing she has accomplished in her time in office is constantly having news articles written about her for the latest stupid thing she has said. Given the choice of her or a more capable republican, I choose her.
