Eh, idk. Reminds me of Homer's quote.
"I understand. Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand."
I think they can make these points and have them be salient points while still doing so in bad faith and generally being disingenuous assholes. The point stands regardless of who makes it.

It's an aesop fable. A group of mice decide they'll all be much better off if they collectively work to tie a bell around the local cat's neck so they can hear it coming and thus they won't get eaten. The mouse who has to actually tie the bell is the one stuck "belling the cat" and that individual mouse has an insanely dangerous, daunting task at great personal risk that the other mice will never have to take on if he's successful.
Ah but what if you support something that you literally criticized someone over 2 months ago.
