And now most democrats don't care when the brunt* of this is being felt by those who they are against and seem to be in love with the organizations doing the acts they once protested as long as it is against their political opponents. During new revelations of impropriety of the FBI, at times admitted by the FBI themselves as incredible as it seems, they routinely accuse people who raise concerns about its actions as being unpatriotic "russian assets", as they have been doing with zealous fervor for over half a decade already.

I completely agree with your position that the stance on the war on terror was abhorrent - although I wouldn't claim it to be as uniquely republican as you make it out to be, democrat warmongers were and are aplenty, and it was under obama that the biggest surveillance scandals of this century occurred-. All this shows is that both sides are about as hypocritical as the other really, three letter agencies are good when they're on my side, bad when they're on the other side, the population in general be damned.

*:curiously they may not even have been the brunt of people that felt it, due to its use on the george floyd riots.
