I remember being called a terrorist for having a problem with the Patriot Act.

As if they were not misused by every other president....

Presidents, the senate and the house have had plenty of opportunities to stop this horrific legislation from continuing but they all keep voting in favor for continuation, extensions, and expansions. Both parties have done so for the past 20 years. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act ). Privacy advocates have screamed forever into the ether about the dangers and abuses that come with it. Nonetheless, 3 letter agencies have continued to exploit this legislation fully and argue they can’t continue their jobs effectively without it. Now here we are at the dawn of a fascist president, who will 100% use it for his own personal agenda and citizen control. We walked right into this madness, holding hands, pretending we are “stopping terrorism” and “protecting the children”.

Top Senator Warns Sweeping New Surveillance Powers Will “Inevitably Be Misused” by Trump by everyones

I'm sure it is but it also was abused by Biden and especially Obama.

This isn't a party issue

Democrats barely put up a fight.

But they did.

Any why the fuck does the media expect Democrats to be the perfect patriots? Blame the fucking Republicans once in a while.
