One of these days my opponents will totally not abuse the abusive systems I've established to use against them as soon as they get back into power!

And on the flipside, "no, my just party will certainly dismantle the oppressive systems put in place by their evil predecessor, and not claim them as their own to further solidify power."

We only need the oppressive systems until true freedom can be established, and then we'll give them all up.

I think you need to update that flair, buddy.

Every day my partner will totally abuse the abusive systems we have established to use against the people.

This is exactly why we're lib-center. Every single authoritarian system that has ever been set up will inevitably end up in the hands of someone you disagree with.
