      Um, yes? Have you read the Patriot Act? Are you aware of the PRISM program from NSA? What about our immigration policy which is just a passed-down-the-line version of the Bush era immigration policy? This stuff didn’t start with Trump. It’s been ramping up for a while.

        Yes.

        It is much much worse now.

        The parties are not even remotely the same. One sucks. The other wants to fucking kill Americans on american soil with American troops to crush any and all opposition.

          One hand washes the other. Remember this: no good, decent, kind person wants to be in charge of their people. There is no thing as a good politician.

          You’re right, it’s much much worse now. But this has always been where we have been heading. Probably since Reagan. Maybe longer. The difference is that you started paying attention.
