#3Does anyone want to suggest some reasons why, the one thing that D+R always, always, always agree on is this:
US Gov/LEO/IC must be gifted the most power possible
to surveil Americans who are not suspected of a crime

They're ultimately the same, the partisanship is mostly a farce as they both know that they're the only realistic options, so as long as neither side goes out of its way to seriously be better than the other, they can both enjoy the perks of being in power eventually, and therefore increased power is always good from their pov as regardless of party, they'll eventually have access to that power too.

Both sides are mostly rich or put there by the rich. A few populist reps get outsized airtime, but that isn’t the majority of people running the show.

Now we get suppression and astroturfing from a bunch of autocrats who despise democracy and call themselves the "Intelligence Community."
