So you view it as the lesser of two evils. My view is that it is still evil. Would you rather live under Stalin or Mao? They’re both bad choices. I believe that the point of Bitcoin is to separate money from state. I think that’s what satoshi wanted to accomplish. I don’t think integrating it into the government is what he wanted. I also don’t think that it is clearly good for Bitcoin because backing the dollar with Bitcoin extends the life of fiat. Unless you only care about NGU which is also valid. That’s my opinion though, we don’t know what the future holds.

Would you rather live under Stalin or Washington? Much less of a straw man. Think on it. I agree that the government is evil because it uses force to exploit people. But there isn't a reason it has to be that way. If Bitcoin is here to fix money and fix that relationship, it will be adopted by governments. Bitcoin separated money and state in 2009, but only for people who use it. Supportive policies lead to more people using it. Very simple.
