I don't trust the government. Joe Biden is more concerned about getting people to take an unwanted shot than he was about getting Americans out of Afghanistan and not arming the terrorist organization who carried out the largest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor and congress regardless of political affiliation is letting it all go down. The Patriot Act was a gross overstep of government authority too. The problem is two wrongs don't make a right and people use the excuse of "he got away with it, why can't I?" as an excuse to do horrible stuff.
