For a good long while it seemed like one side was definitely going to use power, if it got power, to stay in power forever -- look at Hungary for a good example -- but lately it seems like the younger generation of the other side wants the same thing, which historically makes sense: totalitarianism has every bit as rich a history on the Left as on the Right.
So yeah, it's dangerous to think you will always win because your ideas are the only correct ones. But it's possible to rig the system so the "good guys" (you) always win, and then say it's because your ideas were correct. At which point you might find you have not a dictatorship per se, but merely an illiberal democracy that guarantees continuity of government.
