I'll grant you that this is very much an American sentiment currently, but it's not exactly a purely tribal take when the centrist opinion is that sometimes Nazis can have good ideas.
I mean, a broken clock is right twice a day. If hitler was the first to implement a hand washing before and after patient interaction policy, would that be a bad idea? Or would it be a rare good idea from a genocidal maniac?
Or to pick more immediately pertinent examples, RFK is a an idiot, but he supports banning some food additives that are already banned elsewhere for good reasons, Trump is an idiot, but he wants to end daylight savings time. Both are good ideas, despite support from terrible people and being supported by those terrible people doesn't make them suddenly terrible ideas.
