Taking an easily won political victory when your party is in the majority, then instead of building on it and moving forward, you turn back and rat-fuck yourself, your party, and the people you represent.
Senate Majority Leader Schumer won the vote to call witnesses in Donald Trump's second impeachment, which would have been publicly devastating for the Republicans, and then turned it into a schumeric victory by deciding to call zero witnesses.

Get the Victorious mug.by bakfjeidfjhgjriedfjgnjrkerjfhg April 13, 2021
Get the Victory mug.A win for everybody that was never really a win for anybody, since at least one person, if not everybody, lost something to the machine/system, or someone that was part of the machine/system. Disney was/is a master of Machiavellian principles, since people feel like they gain something by waiting in a line at Disneyland/Disney World for 45 minutes of their time instead of an hour of their time. Really it's Disney that gains from this, since people think Disney has a real concern for their families, and not for the Disney reputation and lost dollar signs that would come with any damage to the Disney reputation.
It would be a Machiavellian Victory if one of the two buildings was demolished, or if 4 or 5 of your 10 neighbors homes burned to the ground and yours didn't, you feel like you kept or even gained something by not losing everything, but half of your neighborhood is lost forever and half your neighbors lost everything. So, a Machiavellian victory is when people feel like everybody won because they didn't lose everything, when really just one person or entity actually gained/benefitted from what actually hzppened. Really most wars have casualties, so they are Machiavellian victories if your country doesn't lose a war, since somebody somewhere still lost a family member. Life is a matter of what you lose and not what you win or gain.

Get the Machiavellian victory mug.No matter what the media tells you, there is no such thing as victory over the coronavirus, there is only not losing more than what has already been lost (from lives to jobs to rights).

Get the Victory mug.There is no such thing as victory against the coronavirus, there is only not losing more. If nobody takes a stand, everybody takes a fall.
Not losing more lives, businesses, jobs, or rights isn't victory, it's an end to the spread of (and fuel for) the wildfire, an end to the loss of everything.
