This reminds me of something from my deep dark past.

As a kid growing up, my grandfather had a lot of political pull in our local community.

Once he had decided to support a candidate, with some folk he would tell them who he supported. with other members of the community he would just flat lie and tell him he was supporting the candidate he actually opposed!

Those that trusted my Granfathers judgement would vote with him, thus voting for the person my Grandfather approved of.

Those that were political enemies of my grandfather, thinking they were voting to thwart him, actually voted FOR my grandfathers candidate!

with WreckedHeart, if he thought gumbo was good, i might reconsider my affection for it!
