argumentative

Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s argumentative and divided coalition government has not helped voters feel more secure in the country’s leadership.

“By adding negative language that is not remotely close to the proposed amendment’s language,” Brunner explained in her dissent, “the ballot board crafted language to mislead voters into believing that there is something ‘bad’ about the amendment—instead of omitting argumentative language and letting the voters make their decisions unfettered by the board’s proselytizing.”

Ms Belinfante said she was described by officers as "rude and argumentative" and was "verbally abusive" towards them as she was escorted from the airport.

But she also noticed that people have become more argumentative.

So there’s a theory percolating online that if you adopt the qualities of a stone, becoming impassive and bland, then you will repel the argumentative, antagonistic people in your life who are itching for conflict.
