re: Biden administration, FBI, to work with private firms to surveil domestic terrorists

We gave the government an opening with the Patriot Act when it was presented under the guise of 'keeping us safe from terrorism.'

Absolutely. You give the govt an inch and they'll take a mile. Covid obviously being a mainstream example of where our rights were taken in the name of "safety." The NFA is another example although I wasn't around during that time it was certainly an infringement on our right to bear arms. And now pistol braces and someday semi auto weapons will all be considered NFA items.... In the name of safety and security of course.

Regardless of your political beliefs.. hopefully we can see that the government is already waaaay too big and needs to be reigned in before it's too late. More power to surveil and make people disappear in the middle of the night for any reason they choose is not a good thing no matter how you spin it.
