Heh.. I've come to love it. They had considerable success with language game (changing the definitions of charged terms for use against their opponents), but in 2020 it's finally losing steam. More and more people every day cease to be phased by "racist", "white supremacist", etc. Once someone starts playing from that deck of cards, you know you're dealing with an NPC and that you can just save your breath. By the time reelection rolls around, many of these whiners are just going to be ignored and relegated to their ever-shrinking echo chambers.
Remember when words like "racist" or "sexist" might have been fighting words? Remember when "hate" as a word or idea was dead serious stuff? Remember when these severe words had so much more meaning? Yeah... feels bad, man.
