The funny thing about that is if enough people believe it, it can theoretically work; the only thing keeping leaders in place is the agreed-upon narrative that they’re the leaders. If you can replace that narrative with a different one, as powerful people are currently attempting to do, in theory it is possible to effect a coup by pure narrative. You couldn’t ask for a more perfect illustration of the power of narrative control. Well, not quite. It helps if you replace the narrative and have the ability to destroy the economy by sanctions, seize global assets, manipulate the commodities market, own the international banking system, mobilize a domestic elite imposed by centuries of colonialism (i.e.brute force), have client regimes and subservient allies around the world willing to back the coup, etc, etc, all backed by the largest military in human history. But yes, apart from those small details, this is a coup that, if successful, will have been one of "pure narrative". All you need to do, then, is forcefully draw attention to what they’re doing to the point where their engagement in the smear campaign makes them look worse than they’re trying to make you look. This will kill their ability to manipulate public perception of you. Actually, their "ability to manipulate public perception" comes mostly from owning the doctrinal system, not from the targets of their attacks failing to stand up for themselves. She does get carried away.
