        There’s a massive massive difference between how Biden’s administration has uses the security state vs how Trump tried to use it last time and will use it next time.

        There’s literally no point to draw an equivalence between Trump and Biden than to diminish Trump’s fascism.

    That’s why surveillance has been, is, and will always be an issue and something to be concerned about.

    All it takes is a concentrated power system to abuse that power and use surveillance to their benefit.

    Could you imagine if the Nazi’s had the amount of data, information, and surveillance capabilities of modern day US?

    Surveillance is already completely weaponized against protesters, activists and anyone who opposes hegemony in support of a sustainable planet.

    This is why the One Ring needs to go to Gondor, so it will be safe in the hands of good people who mean well and will never be corrupted or succeeded by lesser heirs!

    ONE RING TO GONDOR!
