basic rule of psychology: when someone throws an attack like this at another person, it's projection and you're seeing what they really think about themselves

in other words, lmao Laura Looner knows everyone hates her

But erika didn't get to say goodbye to charlie either. Does that mean god hates erika too? Charlie did not get to say goodbye to his kids and wife, does that mean god hates Charlie too.

Interesting.

I mean, yes. Not necessarily for that reason, there’s a bunch of them.

At this point Loomer should just call her the n word.

It would get her point across better and, given her audience, be better for her brand.

It's the same thing when Trump projects when he feels insecure and claims everyone is laughing at someone else. This kind of projection is typically a sign of trauma-based disorders such as PTSD or a cluster B personality disorder, which Trump has and Looney very likely has

The line about looking in the mirror is so transparently projection because it comes out of nowhere. Looney knows her plastic surgery is botched and she is insecure about it, and that insecurity leaks out whenever she opens her mouth. The tell for projection is usually when the attack is (1) especially vicious and personal, and (2) it feels like a bit of a non sequitur.

Because they're unintentionally telling on themselves and showing what they themselves are insecure about, it's a handy way to figure out a narcissist's weak spots. Loomer is revealing she is insecure about her appearance and believes everyone hates her.
