Do you understand the construct?
Did you realize your enemies are using hyperbole and lies as a weapon?
When they call someone Hitler or a racist they are weaponizing the 'virtue' of their fellow travelers.
When you attempt to defend yourself from the hyperbole and the lies you have triggered the virtue signalers BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THE HYPERBOLE AND THE LIES.
To them, any attempt to defend yourself is an attempt to defend Hitler, racism, etc
There is one flaw to this weaponized construct:
We all have the right to self defense.
If your character is being assassinated you must defend yourself.
Their construct places social virtue over the right to self defense.
And that is how they will be defeated.

The right of self-defense (also called, when it applies to the defense of another, alter ego defense, defense of others, defense of a third person) is the right for people to use reasonable force or defensive force, for the purpose of defending one's own life (self-defense) or the lives of others, including –in certain circumstances– the use of deadly force.[1]
If a defendant uses defensive force because of a threat of deadly or grievous harm by the other person, or a reasonable perception of such harm, the defendant is said to have a "perfect self-defense" justification.[2] If defendant uses defensive force because of such a perception, and the perception is not reasonable, the defendant may have an "imperfect self-defense" as an excuse.[2]
