4:36Now PlayingDr. Geoffrey Grammer discusses an unusual protest trend in Portland where demonstrators wear inflatable frog costumes. These protestors aim to disarm the projection of violence onto them by the Trump administration. Using the concept of projective identification from psychoanalytic theory, Grammer explains how humor and absurdity in the frog costumes act as psychological resistance, breaking down narratives of fear and aggression. The tactic serves as a form of emotional aikido, turning projected aggression into parody and maintaining a sense of psychological and political freedom.
