TheOldSchool^ spent 8 years blaming Obama for his own problemsFirst of all because they have elevated their beliefs to a religion. Secondly, they believe that all behaviors should lead to equal outcomes, so when they don't they must blame someone or something for the failure. Case in point, we all know why Hillary lost, she lost because she is a lousy candidate and more Americans rejected the social policies of the Democrats than Americans who accepted their progressive social policies. In short, they are behaving like religious fanatics whose religion is being attacked by a rival religion.
Poor choice of example.
Obama pushing ACA mandates and declaring "right to health care as the law of the land"
CAUSED MANY PEOPLE problems on both left and right and people outside both parties.
He did happen to cause other people's problems.
What you can say that WOULD be more fair,
is for ding to say that progressives must have this blame projection in their DNA
is like blaming all of them as a projection in itself.
You could argue he's doing the same thing "they" do by saying the
problem is only coming from one side; "Theirs"
it is this separation in our minds of "them vs us" that fuels this very dynamic
If we remove that mental barrier and agree that ALL people go into grief mode,
and will start "denying and projecting" when angry at problems or injustice we didn't choose to suffer
from actions of others, then we can identify this as universal that all people experience when grieving and
trying to ad dress and overcome a collective problem that is much larger than we can change by ourselves.
