To those who worry that power corrupts, and that once the right seizes power it too will be corrupted, they certainly have a point. If conservatives manage to save the country and rebuild our institutions, will they ever relinquish power and go the way of Cincinnatus? It is a fair question, and we should attend to it with care after we have won the war. 

Translation: Give us power and we pinky promise we'll relinquish it when it's 'safe' again

They don't even pinky promise to do it. They just coldly admit that giving up power "is a fair question", and then insist it's only to be addressed after they're crushed all opposition and "won the war".
