Some people use PP because spelling out annoying names can be hard or one can be lazy at times (totally fair). Some people use PP because it sounds like peepee and it makes them giggle since PP is a weiner.
It's up to you to decide which group you are in. I'd rather just say Poilievre or Trudeau. They are 2 letters in difference.
Now Guillbault, that name is annoying to spell. But nobody would know who SG is if I said it. Even JT is hard to know. JS? PP is known and understood because it is used often, we know who it refers to, and sounds funny (let's be honest here). It's also the only 2 letter acronym being used around here to refer to a politician that I can see, outside of the odd JT.
So yes, several uses of PP like you said are indeed innocent, continue to use it as you wish. When it's parroted by pollsters who have made it their life to make sure he will never be elected and posters here who also try to pass off the CPC as fascist, it's use in those cases tends to be dubious.
In many case folks who use PP are often the same who use Skippy or Milhouse (sometimes in the same post because they are just that hip), so hard to give those folks benefit of the doubt in their use.

Like this guy who does it because he thinks it's funny. (which is why he's so on the defensive about skippy when most others don't agree with him).
You could even say...he started the use of the word skippy in this thread and even had to explain its use (even now he's doing it).
