Believing so deeply in propaganda and lies to forward an agenda that one lashes out at anyone and everyone who proves one wrong and deceptive.
Did you see that politician melt down and insult everyone he could name? He pulled a real Maloney Maneuver.

Purposefully telling grandiose lies to falsely accuse or cower someone to exert power, control, or for political gain.
Did you hear the whoppers he told about Jim to undermine him? Did he think anyone believed it? Total Maloney Maneuver

Refers to the strategic actions that Mr. Lodge employed in an (unsuccessful, naturally! :P) attempt to prevent the clumsy accident-prone Archie from bumblingly knocking over his "priceless 'n' super-fragile" antique Ming Dynasty vase: he placed the ultra-vulnerable artifact on a small display-stand away off in the far end of the room, and put an indestructible rubber replica of the vase in the center of the room for Archie to look at instead of the genuine --- and incredibly breakable --- clay urn.
Mr. Lodge smugly gloats to his daughter Veronica about the ingenious eVASEive maneuver he has employed to protect his lovely valuable work of art from the soon-to-arrive-for-a-visit Archie --- "I had a rubber replica made of it; Archie won't be able to break this bouncy duplicate no matter how hard he bumps into it!" Of course, his seemingly-foolproof plan fails miserably (as usual!)... the hapless Archie --- fearing that he'll damage the vase even though it's just a rubber replica --- backs warily away from it and unknowingly blunders straight into the REAL VASE that's sitting on a stool behind him, sending it crashing to the floor and splintering all to pieces. :P
