A tower several stories high that someone studies their opponent from while being literally over their head enough that they wouldn't need any metaphors.

What you're putting somebody on when you tell them they're more righteous, or the greatest person or greatest at anything. It might give somebody a buzz to know they're on a pedestal, but does it help them not to hear what they need to? There's people who overdo the pedestal shit.
You put her on such a high pedestal all males are expected to believe females are more righteous than males.
You put him on such a high pedestal females think he's got a round table full of knights in shining armor and really the guys an asshole.

Telling people they can live together as friends even though they have no reason to trust the person telling them that is a good way to get them accustomed to falling in line with an agenda. Gaining their trust, eliminating/crushing resistance to an agenda, and access to or control of something is the intention of someone that does that. People already know who their friends are in life.

Being told where your money is going, or even being shown paperwork isnt the same as knowing where your money is going, or being in control of where your money is going, or what it's being spent on. If it seems to make sense to be suspicious of where your money is really going, that's because it does make sense to be suspicious of where your money is going.
The people collecting money from people like dishonest tax collectors claimed to be a charity, and many charities that stole from people did have official names and were official organizations. That didnt make the people running them trustworthy people.

An overutitlized word, a lot of journalists write things like dropped to make their writing sound tougher. If a guy hasn't landed on his head, or fell 2 or more storeys against his will, he wasn't really dropped, he was just knocked down (if he went all the way down).
Quarterbacks who got sacked didn't get dropped (no matter how many yards they lost in the process), they got knocked down. The same applies to a guy getting knocked down in any other sport.

Not the only quarter not to lose focus. It does no good to start a quarter focused if you're not going to finish it focused, and vice versa. Even if you're a young team without the experience, stats, or weapons of an opponent, you can still get things done if don't lose your focus.
