If “our side”, for the sake of power, started trampling on the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, and every other one of the Bill of Rights down the list, and declaring the Constitution to be an outdated, irrelevant piece of paper, “our side” would no longer be my side. So far, thankfully, that doesn’t seem to be the case, and there does seem to be a difference.
“So far, thankfully, that doesn’t seem to be the case, and there does seem to be a difference.”
Of course there is a difference, but the difference is what each side wants to accomplish, but the desire for power is the same, because once you get power you can do whatever you want to do.
In your case you want power to defend and promote the constitution, in their case they want power to significantly alter it.
It’s that simple.
