if you want to talk about behaviour you think is exploitative, self-serving, self-aggrandising, please use those terms. PLEASE don't call people "professional victims" - at best it's overly reductive and dismissive of everything they do

poisoning public discourse is literally the primary goal of the rightwing's incessant catchphrasing, because if serious discussion cannot be had they can just bravado in and assert themselves by honking louder than everyone else which is the only thing they're actually good at.
