Also why the "centrist 'liberals'" are powerless to stop them. the only difference between the two is the latter doesn't see themselves as having as much a "divine right to rule" (notable exceptions like enforcing de-segregation at gunpoint aside). But they ultimately want the same things.

So when the "centrist" tells them "hey shouldn't we debate this before it gets imposed on everyone?" the answer is one of genuine bafflement. "Why shouldn't we? 'We might be wrong'? What kind of answer is that? Do you really believe that? What is gained by 'debating' something so obviously correct?"
