Biden Blame Syndrome

"Biden Blame Syndrome (BBS) is the tendency to disproportionately blame President Biden for various issues, regardless of his involvement or responsibility. Those affected by BBS often use Biden as a convenient scapegoat, overlooking other contributing factors or individuals who may be truly at fault. This syndrome manifests even when Biden is entirely blameless, demonstrating a fixation on attributing responsibility to him at all costs. In some cases, individuals may experience BBS reflexively to shield the actual culprits from accountability.

amnesiatic retro-blaming

Hypocritically blaming the other political party for a governmental action that you originally proposed at greater expense.

Senator Chuck Schumer's blaming of Trump for federal spending during the COVID pandemic is a clear case of amnesiatic retro-blaming. Schumer was asking for a lot more money for COVID than Trump eventually approved. It's extremely bogus for Schumer to point fingers at Trump now.

Reflecting blame

A form of shifting blame by which you blame your accusers for your problem, situation, transgressions, misdeeds, lies, etc.

A common example is when a couple argues. Typically when is caught cheating on the other. One partner will blame the other and the other will reflect it.

Childish

The arguement went long into the night as the couple continued reflecting blame onto one another.
