The democrat's talking point is that Trump is a threat to democracy. Well, that's a nice tag line for their propaganda, but what does it really mean? They are never pressed to make their point because the media is not legitimate.

This strategic approach is often referred to as the "Principle of Projection" or the "Narcissist's Prayer." The origins of this tactic can be traced back to the works of influential political philosophers and strategists, although there may not be a direct quote attributing it to a specific individual.
The basic idea behind this strategy is to deflect criticism or responsibility for one's own actions by preemptively accusing the opponent of the same wrongdoing. This psychological maneuver aims to create confusion, shift the narrative, and undermine the credibility of the accuser.
While similar tactics can be found in the writings of Chanakya, the Hindu political strategist from ancient India, and Niccol Machiavelli, the renowned Italian political philosopher of the Renaissance, the specific phrasing and formulation of the "Principle of Projection" is not directly attributed to either of them in their original works.
The contemporary understanding and articulation of this concept has evolved over time, drawing from various sources and observations of human psychology and political behavior. It is now widely recognized as a common manipulative strategy employed by individuals and groups to avoid accountability and deflect criticism.

Accusation in a mirror (AiM) (also called mirror politics, mirror propaganda, mirror image propaganda, or a mirror argument) is a technique often used in the context of hate speech incitement, where one falsely attributes one's own motives and/or intentions to one's adversaries. It has been cited, along with dehumanization, as one of the indirect or cloaked forms of incitement to genocide, which has contributed to the commission of genocide, for example in the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and the Armenian genocide. By invoking collective self-defense, accusation in a mirror is used to justify genocide, similar to self-defense as a defense for individual homicide.
