Accusation in a mirror, a propaganda and hate speech technique.

These people for sure studied how such propaganda works. And if you listen closely, the patterns of speech give it away. I have seen it used in the Brexit debate, and it already smelled like Fascism to me.

It has never been truer than with this group of people.

As a rule I bet it has a 100% hit rate. To the extent that it seems like they havent done every single thing they’ve accused the other side of, it’s only be they either don’t have the ability yet or it hasn’t been discovered yet.

This is part of the current Republican modus operandi.

Start by accusing your opponents of false crimes. This excites their base and fills the media landscape with “that didn’t happen” language.

Next, you explicitly commit the crimes that you falsely accused your opponents of. Claim it’s not happening, but if it were, it would be justified because the other side did it already (which they didn’t), then re-use the same “that didn’t happen” language your opponents originally crafted. Now an ignorant public isn’t sure who to believe.

And it’s working.

Make no mistake: this is the biggest sign of any that Republicans are going to attempt a wide variety of election tampering, voter suppression and voter fraud tactics to tip the balance of the November (2026) election.

And it doesn’t have to be wide scale: they just need to disrupt a few urban districts in highly contested states. Any crimes they commit won’t be addressed until after the elections are over. See Musk’s million-dollar voter bribes recently maybe being considered illegal: big deal, the fascists already won and have deployed goons into the streets to deport and murder people.

Get your cameras ready.
