Just another case of sick projection by the right .

After watching the video of the woman in Ohio taunting/berating the reporter for wearing a mask, it occurred to me that this, like everything else the right wing does, is all about some sick form of projection.

The right has finally found its Social Justice Warrior cause. They’ve complained about SJWs endlessly now on the right. Another of those fairly mundane things that get stuck in their craw inexplicably, and inextricably.

Everything the left does that they complain about, eventually, they emulate it in some way, but of course then, when they do it, it’s ‘okay’ somehow. We are somehow suffering from TDS, but a fella from Kenya has been living rent free in their heads now for a long time, is another example.

All things are forgiven or permitted as long as your name is in the (R) column.

It’s like hypocrisy is looking for a way to be hypocritical. The mind boggles.

It's the same with "safe spaces" when they are the ones who feel persecuted all the time with everything being a conspiracy or "snowflakes" when no one seems more insulted or butthurt about any topic than they are.

Otherwise they'd get really snowflakey really fast when challenged there.

Anything and everything that makes up a progressive world view is usually fair game.
