I think the word you're actually looking for is "Republican Party"
It's true. It's often said that Trump frequently uses this method.
You could just wait for what Trump would rant or accused someone of something, and sure enough, he's doing or saying exactly the same thing. Every accusation is a confession.
Edit: Now I wonder about two things: 1: The GOP actually rigged the 2020 election and yet still lost, so in their minds Democrats must have cheated. 2: Cry rigged elections when there wasn't any real fraud, causing people to defend the legitimacy of those elections, then actually rigging the elections, and now the DNC look like they are using rigged elections as an excuse to why they lost 2024, when they were just defending the legitimacy of those elects in the first place.
I'm pretty sure it was none other than fuckin' Newt Gingrich who coined the term.
So, sociopaths? I met a few with whom I had very bad encounters and this is the exact tactic they all used.
