Pro-animal rights, pro-life.
Nationalists for homosexuality
Anti-Unionist UK Conservative party.
Pro-war nuclear disarmament advocates (disarm the rest of the world first!)
Anti-slavery evangelicals.
Pro-inequality environmentalists (poor people consume a higher % of their income, and on more material things)
Libertarians for conscription.
Pro-cannabis-legalization prohibitionists
Anti-abortion feminists
Socialists against trade unions
Nationalists against the family
Trade unions against free higher education

Obviously, some of these are real historical coalitions

Generally speaking anyone to the right of me is a fascist, anyone to the left a dirty commie.

It is quite a normal notion. It just happens to be historically problematic.
