Everytime you authoritarian assholes renew the Patriot Act and those associated secret laws that are allegedly all about "national security," YOU give them that power, Congressman. YOU. Didn't you know? Didn't you check? That's your job. What were you doing instead? 3/

I'll tell you what you were doing: You were busy calling the rest of us unamerican and unpatriotic for warning you about removing the limits on law enforcement and the intelligence community. Remember? 4/

YOU didn't give a shit when you thought those laws would be used to spy on Black Lives Matter, or Muslims, or immigrants, or ANTIFA, or Hillary Clinton, or all those people YOU hate. What's your problem now? And it is YOUR problem, isn't it? Heh heh. 5/

Funny thing, according to people like you, if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear, right? That's what you tell the people YOU hate. Well, isn't it? 6/

YOU seems a tad nervous, Congressman. Do YOU have something to fear? You maybe wondering what NSA and the FBI have on YOUR phone calls? Yeah, I can understand how a bum like you, might be nervous... 7/

...given that you in your own words refer to traitors, insurrectionists, and the seditionists who stormed the Capitol Building waving Confederate flags and wearing MAGA hats, who murdered a cop, who tried to murder members of congress... 8/

...who tried to overthrow the election and install Donald Trump -- a guy YOU support 100% -- as dictator, as "critics." Critics? Heh. These people beat a cop to death with an American flag. Critics. 9/

These are YOUR people, Matt Gaetz. This is YOUR murderous ideology. This is YOUR violent insurrection. This is YOUR militia, right here in Santa Rosa County. I can see how you might be a bit nervous at the idea of the FBI examining your phone records. You should be. 10/

Politicians SHOULD fear accountability. For 4 years, you've gotten away with your lies and your stunts and your belligerent incompetence. Without Trump, you'd be nobody. But Trump can't protect you anymore. And your daddy can't buy your way out of it this time either. 11/
