I got news for you - they think they’re doing it for the people, too, and that we are the evil ones. It’s just that us and them disagree on what’s best.
I disagree with your point of view. The two sides are not symmetrical, as many studies of comparative conservatives vs liberals have shown. Their motivations are different; therefore the will to power is to crush opposition and impose humiliations (by the left), or to empower freedom and dignity in accord with the consent of the governed (by the right).
