Perhaps "undermine the meaning" would have been a better way to phrase.

If people standing up and working to stop the 47 regime -- and working to elect Pro-Impeachment candidates in 2026, whether Pro-Impeachment Republicans challengers or Pro-Impeachment Democratic candidates -- wear the red with our messages, their signalling loses power.

And frankly, I think it would piss some off and provoke whiney reactions, which are all good in my book.
