I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scaremonger' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'arranged photo op for me suppressing democrat' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'suppressing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'democrat' becomes 'd'.
'photo'+'op'+'for'+'me'='photoopforme'
'photoopforme' is an anagram of 'prophetofoom'.
'prophetofoom' placed around 'd' is 'PROPHET OF DOOM'.

Can you help me to learn more?
