The issue is not per se surveillance, but rather that it’s being utilized to suppress valid freedom of expression and speech at the hands of a radical cult. All the same, what we need after regaining the white house, senate and house is to root out and effectively dispel the disinformation that is at the core of the MAGA movement, the foreign investment and normalizing of hate speech. All these actions will require that areas in which malicious actors congregate are not allowed to act in a manner contrary to human decency and (hopefully after proper legislation is passed) the law. Yes, I understand people are very hesitant and fearful as of now, but a brighter future necessitates we don’t limit ourselves out of ignorance in striving for a better future.
