Then the illusion would be self evident.
No, one is evil to one side and the other is evil to the other...that is how the game works.
The biggest problem is to pretend you are not seeing a game in any of it, and it is the simple good verses evil clear choice...and vote out of fear instead of for something...that means they never have to deliver anything but relief of your fear of the boogie men.
