52. It's a social calculation

The way a lawyer tries to make a person look really bad by bringing up something from their personal life. The way a parent rallies some of their children together when another of their children confronts them about something. Rally your allies. Make people look bad. Rinse, repeat. Play victim, rally your allies. Rinse, repeat.
