Fanatics try to expand the meanings of words to make their message more inflammatory in an attempt to bully and shame people who don't agree with them into doing what they want. It's a standard play from the extremist playbook.

People use words in varied ways to make rhetorical points and get people to consider things they might not have otherwise. Oh no! I'm sorry that cognitive dissonance is stressful

Your approach was and continues to be a complete failure. You can triple down and fail again or you can choose to try something different. Do you want to talk or do you want to walk away? Those are your only two options at this point.
