I don’t believe that’s the case in the slightest. We’ve seen it chipped away over many decades. The Patriot Act, which I presume is what you are talking about, did not and does not allow the surveillance we are experiencing now. I think our liberties may be dying right now as their seems to be no massive outrage once the facts came out. We’ll see in future elections, but I don’t see a groundswell or major shift happening. I bet if the last election was replayed, we’d see pretty much the same results today.
We’re both entitled to our opinions, I’ll stick with mine.
