Yes, we must not allow them to hijack the words. We need to challenge them on it when we catch them at it. Otherwise we cede linguistic territory to them and it seems to be a popular tactic to unsettle someone mentally as they attack. If you refuse to give in to their redefinition of words it seems to sometimes throw them off balance instead. Jordan Peterson is someone that is good at stopping this type of action. Ben Shapiro is excellent at it as well.
