The Founders were keenly aware that power corrupts and that government authority is inherently self-serving. If anything they would be saying “we TOLD you faggots this would happen!” The entire purpose of the Constitution was to erect legal barriers that would inhibit the ability of centralized government power to fuck over American citizens because the Founders knew exactly what would happen otherwise.
The long-term goal of the left is to chip away at those Constitutional barriers, bit by bit, until they become ineffective.

Rather, people are inherently self-serving, being in government just affords them a greater opportunity to take advantage of others. As you said, power corrupts.
Most people, especially Leftists, don't understand how truly revolutionary the founders were and how the government they established was nearly unprecedented. They kicked out arguably the most powerful and global empire the world had ever seen and instead of propping up themselves and their buddies with power they actually created a government system with barriers to prevent that from happening - both limited themselves and their descendants.
It's pretty wild to think about: they crafted the system and the documents in such a way to prevent even themselves from exerting control over your life.
The founding fathers would have been shocked at how much our government has fucked us
