that's how fascism works. the thing is: it doesn't matter if the "bill" is killed or not. the spying will happen, along with all the resulting arrests/disappearances/falling out of windows/etc that follow from the spying-- and there's nothing anyone can do about it
It blows my mind how much the republicans are sheep to their diaper wearing orange leader. They don’t even try to use their fucking brains when considering how fascist his policies are they just go with it
