When confronted, leftists often try to defend themselves by concealment. Usually it's done by rejecting a specific label ("wokeness doesn't exist", "Marxism can't be postmodern", etc), or that leftism exists at all, but there's really nothing stopping them from pretending the argument itself doesn't exist. Sure, it requires lying even harder, but for leftists, that's a benefit. The more unbelievable the lie they can get away with, the happier it makes them.
