The summer soldiers and sunshine patriots who once stoutly defended Scott Morrison (not to mention Donald Trump) now speak in an even more shrilly voice when damning the former PM’s performance than they used in attacking the Left — Dictator! & Victimizer!

It's an old psychological maxim that when a guilty person criticizes you he/she is only telling you all himself him or herself!! You tell us all about yourself.
