DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers. The abuser will Deny the abuse ever took place, then Attack the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable; then they will lie and claim that they, the abuser, are the real victim in the situation, thus Reversing the Victim and Offender.

Once again, Republicans caught doing what they accuse Democrats of doing
Update 10/13/20: California GOP admits it’s placing ballot collection boxes that the state’s attorney general says are illegal, and when told to stop, in typical four-year-old style, say, “make me.”
As shown most recently by the postmaster general’s actions to deliberately slow down the U.S.. mail just before an election that may hinge on mailed-in ballots, and then his refusal to reverse those steps even though he promised to stop them, Republicans live by the old adage, “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.”
Original Post 10/12/20:
“California Republicans are allegedly creating fake drop boxes and tricking voters into depositing their ballots in them. Apparently they’re trying to prove voter fraud is real by committing actual election fraud.”
—Mark Joseph Stern, Slate
As I’ve said more times than I can count, “projection is the pigment with which Republicans color their world.”
To determine what illegalities the Republicans are committing, simply look at the crimes of which they accuse Democrats.
It’s simple behavioral psychology that holds true from the lowliest street criminal to the highest corporate CEO: to rationalize your own behavior, you assume your opponents are doing the same. That way, rather than being a criminal, you are just leveling the playing field.

A young Hong Kong filmmaker has put together a ground-level view of the 2019 protests that I believe is an important documentation from protesters’ point of view. Check it out:
“Someone should do something about this!” screams impotent little man
Just 20 days before the election, Trump, the only person in the world with the power to do something about this, screams “Someone should do something about this!”

I like to point out to Trump supporters that four years after a presidential campaign based on chants to “lock her up,” four years during which Trump had all the power of the Department of Justice at his disposal, Hillary Clinton still walks free.
There are two possible reasons for this:
- Trump is so utterly incompetent that he can’t get an indictment of the most corrupt politician in our nation’s history (keeping in mind a New York judge famously once said you can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich);
- Or, Hillary Clinton is innocent, and Trump deliberately based his entire campaign on a lie.
Two choices: pick one.
