Transference is a psychiatric term for the ability to take your faults and ascribe them to others. In the dictionary next to the definition should be a photo of former President Barack Obama, particularly the section in his September 7 University of Illinois speech where he attacked President Trump for fomenting paranoia and division:
In a moment reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's outrageous characterization of Trump voters as "deplorable" and "irredeemable," President Obama said: "I have to say this... Over the past few decades, the politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the Republican Party."
Labeling the 63 million Trump voters as "deplorable" and "irredeemable" didn't work out for Hillary Clinton when she ran a failed presidential campaign against Trump in 2016. Labeling the same voters as divisive, resentful and paranoid will not work for Democrats in the November midterm elections.

Projection, not transference
ReplyDeleteObama's fate has been sealed in history just like his college transcripts. The truth will come to light one day and his presidency will be negated. He did nothing for 8 years. I understand the political "game". It was so obvious during the recent SCOTUS confirmation hearings. Booker and Harris are trying to follow in Barry's footsteps as champions for the Blacks and downtrodden. Just like Barack, that is so much BS.
