It's not complicated:
For many politicians -- especially, but not limited to, those in the Democrat/Communist Party -- the preservation of our Republic (and with that, the preservation of Liberty) is of far less concern than is the preservation of these politicians' personal power and the public perception of their "importance" and "influence".

“the preservation of these politicians’ personal power”

Correct. Everything Dems do is designed to increase their power and control. They want everyone to be dependent on them.
