really?
aggressive, sarcastic, rude, dismissive, disrespectful, inflammatory
I can think of a long list of politicians (both sides) and CEOs (not to mention political commentators) that these terms describe very well.
In fact, in today's world, it seems the quickest way for a no-name to make a splash and generate a following is to do or say something outrageous (or repost something outrageous someone else said) and refuse to back off
For a number, it seems to be a prerequisite and the more inflammatory they are the more celebrated they are with the people.
They are often described this way by people:
"He/she never backs down no matter what"
"They give as good as they get"
"They fight and I like someone that fights"
"They call it like it is and don't care who they hurt or who gets mad"
"He/she doesn't care what people think."
"He/she might not be right, but they are confident and I like that"
