    No… no no no to this type of rhetoric. If law enforcement wants to spy on an American, they should be required to prove to a judge they have a very good reason and get a warrant for that shit.

      I agree, but that changes nothing about why maga is upset, and I’m quite sure concern that their plans for a Republican dictatorship might be further threatened is a big component of why.
