That's only true if you believe one side. The Democrats have also repeatedly expanded surveillance just like the Republicans. There only seem to be a handful of congress people who are are concerned with privacy.
I'm more concerned with poverty than I am with the surveillance state. It's already here and will never be rolled back. Things could still be done to alleviate poverty like universal healthcare, ubi, etc.
Those who would sacrifice a little liberty, for a little safety, deserve neither.
Sacrifice? It was fucking stolen, shot in the head, and thrown in the sea before anyone knew it was even happening.
Very good literature lesson you have there. Let's live in the real world. What are you doing to roll back privacy erosion? Kids don't even understand privacy. I have a nephew that uses his full legal name for everything he does online and will not stop, despite me talking to him about how stupid that is several times.
Privacy is over apart from the tools I'm sure you know about and use. Let's focus on the big shit.
