They help sunset blessing because they probably understand some fact about her plan that makes it impossible to succeed. You have to remember that she is not the smartest but is just a charismatic zeolot that is very suseptable to brainwashing. Also you mentioned earlier that phobia is a borderline shimmerest you should change that. Because if this view is still valid than the other dreamwardens should punish her. Also you should stop having luna be such an idiot. The ponies on earth were brainwashed, all her examples against it were the people that were strong willed enough to completely reject it. The brainwashing was weak due to the wide spread nature of it. It influenced most people to want to be ponies and mindfucked the weak willed to believe in sunsets plan.

Phobia is not a Shimmerist sympathizer because of brainwashing, she herself questioned and rejected part of the vision, and is adamantly against the vision (in both the original and later form). That doesn't mean the idea of pony superiority is something that can't develop independently, and her beliefs are focused completely on abilities not morals (if anything she is more likely to question the moral character of ponies, something a pure Shimmerist wouldn't be preinclined to do). They are also vague beliefs she doesn't personally preach or try to instill in others, or really even thinks about the majority of the time.
And yes, the idea of humans developing magic would have her rethink her beliefs, if actually asked to actively think about them.
Lost.
Tiny.
It seems his destiny is to be Mellisa’s cuddle toy/security blanket.
It will be interesting to see Blessings reaction to Equestrian ponies having visited before. Even more interesting to see her reaction to the fact that SS tried to erase the evidence of those visits. This is how conspiracy theories are born.

There's a bit more to his cutie mark than that. Applied directly to Melissa it can be seen that way, but there is broader purpose.

Being "sure her plan won't work" is not a sufficient explanation for why the US government is handing significant amounts of money and power to Sunset Blessing. The real explanation probably starts with the magical influence of both Paranoia and Tonya the Pegasus. Because Sunset Blessing named herself after Sunset Shimmer, she was one of the first ponies the US government decided to investigate. But when the first government investigators showed up to question her, S.B. had already gotten a real dose of fear from her daughter about getting into a fight with the humans, so she tried to be very cooperative. And Tonya was sitting right next to her, telling the humans how they really wanted to cooperate, and how S.B. could really be very, very helpful to the US government. So the first reports the government got about S.B. were a lot more positive than anyone would expect, unless they knew that Tonya was a mind controller.
From there it started to snowball. S.B. did have some college training in management. Tonya helped her focus on doing a good job, and helped encourage other talented ponies like Number Crunch and Tattered Wing to join in. The government started giving them some help, and S.B. and the others did fairly well. And when government employees showed up to evaluate how well S.B. and her ponies were doing, Tonya was always there to explain that things were going well, but they really could use more resources.
So the real reason why S.B. is getting more help than one would expect is that at least parts of the US government think her plans will work, and what's more that these plans fit into US government plans quite well. Of course there are still plenty of influential humans in the US government who neither like or trust any ponies, including S.B. This hostility is probably the main reason the government is currently planning to dump 90,000 more ponies into Riverview, though the fact that some members of the government may think S.B. can perform miracles of governmental efficiency may also be a factor. But whether it's born of a desire to sabotage S.B, or is a reflection of the high regard in which she is held, this plan will create enormous problems for all the ponies, including S.B. However, if the ponies do succeed in building a successful new city, S.B. will likely become much more powerful. It will be interesting to see if S.B. can continue to get US government cooperation, now that Paranoia has told Tonya she can't use her mind control powers anymore.

It should be noted, while Sunset Blessing isn't a genius by any standard she isn't stupid either. There's a difference in being weak-willed and stupid, and much of her weak will has been chiseled away by Tonya. She is very good at spotting opportunities as well as recognizing and utilizing the skills of others. In addition to being charismatic and a fairly good management director those are her primary strengths.
Sunset Blessing tried to get Sunrise Storm and failed, tried to get Bob and failed, tried to get Strong Hooves and failed, but she somehow ends up with Sarah Tanner of all ponies in her employment. Not a complete waste, I'm sure if Sarah finds more artifacts Sunset Blessing will get access to new runes.
