Leader-follower and intra-group dynamics are analyzed for two large groups who participated in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol building. Psychotic, projective and introjective defenses are seen to have increasingly developed within these groups in the months leading up to the Insurrection. These were amplified by three incendiary forces: escalating feelings of victimization, an undermining of a sense of truth and of trust in the national government, and an amplification of false messages by social media barrages. This exploration uses as data the multiple reports of journalists who witnessed the Capitol uprising or who conducted individual interviews with group members, as well as reports from the U.S. Department of Justice.

美国国会大厦的起义：理解精神病、投射和内射的群体过程

分析了参与 2021 年 1 月 6 日袭击美国国会大厦的两个大型团体的领导者-追随者和团体内动态。在起义前的几个月里，这些群体中的精神病性、投射性和内向性防御被认为越来越多。这些被三种煽动力量放大：不断升级的受害感，对国家政府的真实感和信任感的破坏，以及社交媒体弹幕对虚假信息的放大。这项探索使用目睹国会大厦起义或对团体成员进行个人采访的记者的多份报告以及美国司法部的报告作为数据。
