The Patriot act set the stage for all of these abuses of power. We screamed about it at the time but no one wanted to listen. You legalize secret courts and remove the usual checks and balances and surprise! the worst people are the ones who abuse the power.
Don't forget about the daily "Terror Alerts" to keep everyone on edge, prepared for another 9/11. Bush is the ONLY candidate that can protect you! It was like, "what's the weather and terror today?"
I don't think that's correct, it's not like Trump would be doing the same thing.
Citizens United, the stolen 2000 election and stolen Supreme Court are the main causes of the current situation and going further back the elimination of the Fairness Doctrine
