>it might also just be political play to get some douchebag rightwing parties over the line

Who is the real "douchebag" in that case?



Surveillance is not generally a right/left thing and seems to be more an establishment thing.


This issue is captured in the Authoritarian <--> Libertarian axis on the 'grid' representation of political views.

It's the reason I really don't like Hillary. I can put up with her economic and social positions but in my view she hits the tip top of the authoritarian graph and it scares me.
