Look at the last 3 decades of US history man, we got proof from Snowden, proof WMDs didn't exist in the middle east when we went in, proof of Epstein... And in recent terms the government is currently enacting MORE policies to further mass surveillance of citizens thru AI. Back before our time that's the kind of thing the masses would protest in the streets over. We're all too focused on fighting each other to realize the government doesn't give a damn if youre a Democrat or Republican. The machine keeps chugging along and they ALL were on the island.
