I’m not sure if it’s naivete, ignorance or what,

but why does “our side” continually take at face value that the left’s end goals are the same as ours -

ie, a prosperous country of strong moral values?

They don’t. They seek power and control.

This goal, ultimately, is building Satan’s kingdom under one supreme leader, though even THEY might not understand that.

It's a sickness. We are wired to give people the benefit of the doubt.

I think in psychological terms it's called "battered woman syndrome".
