I agree that we should reject their 1984-style linguistic perversions: we shouldn’t call left-wing idiots “progressives” (they represent the opposite of progress), we shouldn’t use the term “gender-affirming” when what’s meant is gender-denying, etc.
But we also need to be clear in our communication and not promote, even inadvertently, anti-liberty policies via exaggeration or satire that is easily misinterpreted or even intentionally mischaracterized as straightforward support.
