Jack Thompson got disbarred and Leland Yee is in jail for selling guns to terrorists.

Here is a lesser known moral crusader. He ran a campaign against Dungeons & Dragons in the 80s. He also said that all TV violence is bad.

but but he is a paragon of our kind. it is his moral mandate to do this. for he is better than us and knows things better than us. isn't it obvious that he is better than us, better looking than us, more moral than us?

A campaign against D&D? What kind of shit is that? That’s like suddenly waking up and deciding to declare a fatwa against Magic: The Gathering or Yu-Gi-Oh.

It's a known psychological phenomena

It is called "projection"

Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.

Trump is a great example of this

I'm going to go with

Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye...

Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.
