They carry projection to an extreme and then saturate the zone with it.

IMO GOP legislators and their voters are engaged in, "I know you are, but what am I?" schoolyard taunting. They know they're wrong, and they know they should be ashamed of lying themselves, and they should be directing their anger at their "leaders" who are so often caught in their lies and then forcing them to support them, but the mob gives everyone cover.
