Exactly! The TOS/TNG era are "benevolent authoritarianism" and conservatives, of course, see themselves as the good guys. "If things only went our way, our society would be perfect, just like Star Trek!"

I think Edington said it best. Paraphrasing, "[The Federation] are even worse than the Borg. At least they tell you about their plans for assimilation. You're more insidious you assimilate people I think they don't even know."
