The Bedrock Point here is that they cannot win by doing things properly, so they cheat.

At everything, always.

This is the playbook.

The fact that they must resort to such knucklehead tactics shows that they have nothing of substance to stand on, ever.

The brilliant part is that they get to live free of any conscience or personal integrity. Character in their own actions in a non-issue.

They cannot succeed at something of their own so they focus on manipulating others that they disagree with.

One day their conscience will catch them.
