wants to enforce the restrictions and boundaries he decries every day, to be in control, to dominate.
wants to be ruled by the restrictions and boundaries he claims he’s created, to be in someone else’s control, to submit.
This difference was the most interesting to me. Like liberal!Stephen sees himself as a dangerous person who people should be protected from, and conservative!Stephen sees himself in danger and needing protection. The threat from within vs. the threat from without. (Wow, it seems ridiculously obvious when I type it out like that but I haven't given much thought to liberal!Stephen before, so... yeah.)
