Hard disagree... I think this is exactly how the government wants you to think.

A really weird thing about civil rights litigation is that is usually involves the absolute worst people you know, like say 4chan or the KKK because the government specifically targets people who are rightfully hated when building their case to eventually limit civil rights for all of us.

Now where have we learned about this from history... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came

Right, but their endorsement is still likely to do more harm than good in terms of public perception of the law, I think.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less.

Frenemy != Friend

At best a frenemy is a useful distraction to keep them tied down.
