demolishers
Those who raze
Demolishers are people or things that demolish—that tear down, destroy, or wreck.
The word usually refers to workers or machines that raze buildings: The demolishers arrived with wrecking balls and excavators.
Figuratively, someone who demolishes an argument or opponent might be called a demolisher: a demolisher of weak excuses.
