This is just lazy rhetoric and ignores what I said.
Both sides of the aisle in the US right now want to be in charge. The right is popularly portrayed as crazy, but the left has a strong authoritarian streak as well -- and they justify the restriction of rights because they will get it right -- this time, of course. I'm not even going to start a discussion of which one is worse, they are both authoritarian and bad.
Both sides view their version of playing god as correct. Neither side seems to take a view of stepping back and letting people be on their own -- refusing to use force of government to impose their plans on the people.
