It doesn't need to stop, it needs to change. Before assuming it's doomerism or attempts to dissuade people from voting, learn the perspective. The example above was the Patriot Act, a bill written before 9/11 even occurred, passed (and continually passed extensions until 2019) with overwhelming support, and is a fundamental attack on privacy. Things like the Patriot Act don't come from just one side.

This “both sides” bullshit needs to fucking stop.

It is literally impossible for support to be nearing %70 without support from Blue voters.

What needs to stop is this pretense that this crap is only being supported by Conservatives / Republicans.
