That's what's so insidious about the left. They can justify anything they do because in their minds it's for the greater good and they're supporting the march of progress to a better world.
So, when they break the law, or apply double standards between themselves and their opponents, it's all OK and morally correct in their minds.
On top of that, when they do x - and it doesn't show any of the results they promised - they just write it off as, "Well, If we didn't do x, it would have been a lot worse", or, "It just didn't work because we didn't do x hard enough".
That, combined with the point you brought up, is what makes the goddamned media (traditional and now tech) so freaking dangerous. The public being informed about what is actually going on (and getting mad about it) is the only moderator on stopping the stupid stuff the left engages in, and we now exist in a system where the media doesn't even pretend to be unbiased/professional in the slightest. Instead, they are running propaganda for the left, so - instead of being a moderator - they are being an accelerant.
The left's stranglehold on the narrative needs to be broken before anything else can happen.

I've also seen them justify it as "Well they had good intentions."
