The 2024 Harris-Walz campaign is turning out to be projectionist to the core.
After all, the political projectionist knows best his own hazardous or off-putting conduct and policies.
Rather than an unconscious Freudian defense mechanism, political projection is usually a conscious strategy of hiding one’s own negatives by fobbing them off on antagonists.
A few examples reveal that 2024 is turning out to be the most projectionist campaign in memory—and logically so, because the Democratic Harris-Walz ticket is unappealingly left-wing and thus vulnerable.
It is increasingly common for leftist candidates or political parties to falsely accuse their opponents of the very destructive behaviors and unpopular agendas that they themselves embrace, but out of political necessity must deny.
Projection is a Freudian psychological term.
But in the political sphere, projection involves more overt dissimulation.
