After ICE raided a downtown Charlottesville courthouse and arrested two men, the federal agency is promising to prosecute the bystanders who challenged their authority.
“It is shameful” wrote an ICE spokesman who declined to be named in a Saturday morning statement, “that the Commonwealth Attorney, a sworn officer of the court and fellow law enforcement officer, has decided to prioritize politics over public safety"
Oh that is fucking rich coming from someone working for the Trump administration.
They pre-emptively go on TV and loudly blame democrats for [X] before it becomes a major story
When it comes to light that [X] is in fact happening the public is already primed to blame their opponents for it
It’s the sort of thing a 5 year old might do to try and blame the cat for a broken cookie jar, it’s baby’s first con, it’s stupendously obvious what’s going on, but, here we are.

Projection is a HUGE tool the Right has been using for a while.
Millenia, even.
Projection is a tell, not a tool.
I get what you mean but they’re using it to manipulate people
How do you use projection as a way to manipulate? Sure, you can lie to people, and they won’t know you are projecting, but that is called lying.
So, how does one use projection as a manipulation tool?
Conservatives are doing [X]

Fine, call it lying then.
It’s a specific type of lying. Calling a thing by its name is fundamental to generating broad understanding.
An anonymous, wanna-be brownshirt coward ICE spokesman, at that.
Sounds like someone that didn’t get their job in the current administration. Hence why they’re refusing to be named.
And won’t even spew their bullshit with their name attached to it. Cowards.
