Progressive Projection

Psychological projection is a theory in which people "defend themselves against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in themselves, while attributing them to others." Progressives are more likely to suffer from projection, because they are usually psychologically damaged and defensive. Amanda Marcotte's borderline personality disorder is always on display.

http://t.co/Rtk3CaGc0D It says a lot about the GOP that a woman who says she likes sex is considered worse than a man who hates women.

The "man who hates women" part of the tweet is referring to Donald Trump, and his recent intemperate comments about Megyn Kelly. The link provided goes to an article published in The American Prospect entitled Republicans Slut-Shame Megyn Kelly, Reward Trump.

The slut-shaming is referential to slight murmurs of disapproval of Megyn Kelly's glamour photos and lascivious interview with Howard Stern. Columnist Adele M. Stan refers to Republicans as the "party that boasts misogyny as its calling card." The Republican Party wins big with married women. Can we refer to the Democrats as the "party that boasts spinsterhood and single-parent families as their calling card?"

I don't agree that "women who like sex" are to be "vilified always" by the Republican Party. There is a strong understanding among conservatives that the female orgasm enhances the chances of fertilization. It is the Democratic Party that patronizes women by telling them that they are victims if they consent to sex while intoxicated.

And I don't agree that most of the backlash against Megyn Kelly is because of "slut-shaming." Kelly is a whore, alright, but she's a fame whore.

And the reason Trump is resonating isn't because or in spite of his "misogyny." Really, it's hilarious than any Progressive would be so lacking in self-awareness to call anyone in the opposition a misogynist. How many women has Bill Clinton raped? How many underage girls has he had procured for him?

The reason Trump is surging is because people feel like they're being played, that they're being manipulated. Trump goes on Fox, and Fox tries to take him down a notch. Then Erick Erickson, who is employed by Fox, dis-invites him from Redstate. The notion that Fox News is some kind of conservative network is gone forever.
