If the RNC doesn't stand up and fight this its over... the American experiment in freedom and democracy will die....
Dude, it is already over for America. It has been over for decades since the Patriot Act and a bunch of other actions giving tech agencies free shrift to bypass privacy and constitutional law.
It was originally rationalized as a means of catching drug dealers.
Now the Fed is the biggest drug dealer in America bringing in tons of fentanyl while they have coke parties at the WH dancing naked.
Then it was carried forward as a means of national security.
And that has stopped none of the actual nation security threats from 9/11 to Boston, to BLM in 2020 destroying 350 cities. Hasn't stopped a single school shooting.
In fact, drugs and crime are at an all time high.
Instead, they use it now to spy on all of us, in effect, warrantlessly treating all of us as guilty of something, they know not what, before they even know it! They just know that we must be guilty of SOMETHING.
And they can prosecute you on anything. If they don't have something, they will just MAKE IT UP.
If they can do it to a president, they can do it to you.
And most telling: Do you see ANYONE, much less any of the GOP candidates (other than Trump) even mentioning this as an issue to run on?
And the one guy who DOES mention it, is under attack trying to stay out of jail.
For valuing his property favorably and paying back a bank loan in full on time.
Do you think that fat tub of lard Christy is going to fight to end government spying and restore privacy rights???
How many times has the issue even been brought up at any presidential debate?
