Sounds a little bit like an exaggeration and misinterpretation incentivized by the given description of commoners and nobility. Actually, looking at it again, french cards, and that is what we are talking here, represent different factions and high value cards, aces and tens, most likely represent goods. Jacks, Queens and Kings represent the nobility of the factions that manage the wealth and goods. Apparently “trionfi” was an addition to that general setup italians came up with around the 16th century.
Than there is the fact that their are lots of card games, in any case they reflect and shape the different cultural particularities and that games often are a way to reflect and handle reality, being it kids impersonating the world that surrounds them or people playing chess.
The intent here is to adapt the idea of a german cards game, Doppelkopf to conversations and discussions by for example stating something like “I have a good argument that trumps yours” or “I agree with your exposition, am on your team and there for place a card that counts a lot so you can take that value home for (our) team”.
What explains that assholes actions in the real world?
Well, its in plain sight for everyone and actually addressed quite outspoken. Doesn’t look like it’s useful to waste time with the brain dead news cycles around him but to realize what the changed environment means for all of us on all levels.

Looks like you are mixing up important details that belong to different aspects called religion, culture, believes and even representatives of those aspects commonly refered to as idols.
Like to say:
There is a message, a messenger, a language that enshrines the message, as well as habits that represent them.
