tweedledee

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

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

'character at conclusion of argument?' is the wordplay.
'character' becomes 'dee'.
'at' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'conclusion of argument?' becomes 'tweedle' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'dee' after 'tweedle' is 'TWEEDLEDEE'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tweedledee that I've seen before include "Through the Looking Glass twin" , "Twin of 6 dn" , "aggressive twin" , "Twin met by Alice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
