    Policy reforms enacted in the name of combatting "terrorism" always end up being used for purposes that have nothing to do with "terrorism," and eradicate civil liberties in the process. How is it possible that so many journalists and politicians still fail to grasp this?

        The journalists are failing to grasp it the politicians are intending to take away our civil liberties. We should know better because this is just a repeat of previous events but the American people are like sheep to the slaughterhouse...

        #Journalists & #media don't fail to grasp the concept. 1. They believe that it will never happen to them; self importance or arrogance. 2. Think they have nothing to hide; the why worry doctrine 3. Now habitually fail to hold #Govt to account.

        9/11 and our perpetual "War On Terror" suspended our understood government power structure in favor of COG in conjunction with it, bringing us the NDAA "Patriot Act", the Smith-Mundt 'Modernization' Act and FASAB 56. They ALL grasp it. It's the public who are clueless.

        Absolutely. A lot of the same journalists & politicians frequently virtue signal about the benefits of Authoritarianism. They want a smaller echo chamber, for easier cash and captive minds. (see: mind slaves) #1A, #2A, & #4A... undermined daily by Safety at the cost of Liberty.

        What's weird is the people who grasp it in the context of the War of Terror, but think it'll somehow be different applied domestically. Like… ??

        You make this point often with Biden's likability among the majority and I believe this is along the same line. Social media, the internet, and the class divide have made a lot of people less engaged (and less-willing to engage) with people outside of their social circles.
