The FORMULA is more and more clear all the time:
Offend like crazy, and then SCREAM to the rafters about BAAAAACKLASH.
This way you can be both perp AND ALSO wounded party.
Rinse, repeat.
“If you guys are to live up your much-vaunted values, you’ll prove it to us by fronting NO OPPOSITION TO US AT ALL...”
Very simple.

Well Done !!!
