Honestly ... Zero Imagination

If you're going to spin lies about someone else, it shows a distinct lack of creativity when the only thing you can think of is something you don't want anyone to know about your own self.

Did I not say a while ago, but not all that long ago, that if you want to find out what some people have been up to all you have to do is pay attention to what they're accusing others of?

Not only is it non-creative, it's not all that smart.

Indeed.

Russian collusion, for example ...

That's but a symptom of a much larger, more widespread, mindset.

Mine own mindset being a mite peculiar compared to most, the pattern emerges and expands before my very eyes (not literally) to encompass a whole range of behaviors exhibited by a great number of folk. Most of those people likely haven't got the faintest idea in this world what they are saying about themselves ... but the rest of the world, if we've been paying attention at all, recognizes it for what it is.

Being accusatory and condemning others (who may or may not be guilty - more frequently turning out to be the latter) for this that and the other thing, on whatever scale and to whatever degree - might draw the attention of the general public to the targets of your vitriol. So momentarily it may appear that you're accomplishing your goal.

Unfortunately for you, once attention is drawn to a certain line of thought, it's not all that uncommon for said line of thought to extend beyond where you want it to stop - which would be on your target.

As the instances of 'coincidence' increase, the pattern is likely to show itself to a whole lot of other people besides folks like me whose minds have already been noticing it for quite a while.

It makes a person wonder, it surely does, why people can't be more imaginative about stuff. If you consistently use your own experience as a guide to making accusations about others, it will inevitably draw attention to your own sphere of interest in the 'issue' at hand.

And it doesn't really take the larger population all that long to figure it out.

It applies to lots of things besides Russia, and significantly impacts more people than a person would think possible.

Who's racist?

Who's intolerant?

Who's misogynous?

Who's war-mongering?

Who's been lying to everyone?

All things considered, it might be easiest to identify such folk by simply watching and listening to the ones who are raising issues, bringing stuff up in the first place, starting the accusatory narrative. No wonder some people are still touchy about the unexpected results of November 2016, huh? What else is going to be exposed? At least we know where to begin looking - all we have to do is take them at their word, so to speak.
