I have a lot of trouble understanding the ACLU's priorities. You can't prioritize defending everyone's free speech. Why do this?

My best guess is that they're trying to deflect the "ACLU is leftist" by being assholes.

I dont think they're leftists....

Oh no, neither do I. But I think it's a common claim that's lobbed in their direction by conservatives when they disagree with the ACLU.

Exactly. When an organization allows warped fringe voices to manipulate them, no good comes of it.

And as with CNN and the NYT, no amount of caping for Nazis will protect the ACLU when the Nazis decide to turn on them.

ACLU must be part of the collateral damage after this is over. They sided with the tyranny. They cannot be allowed to survive as an org.

In reality, they are aiding and abetting a traitorous regime led by a patently ineligible nutsack.
