Agree.
Back in my unreformed days,the Milwaukee PD had a *Red Squad* devoted to tracking the social circles of people who were politically dissident. I was an art major. Most of my friends were art or theater majors. I worked at a co-op. Etc, etc. We assumed we were routinely surveilled, phones tapped, whatever.
That was over 50 years ago. Today, my beliefs and friends are 180 degrees from what they were then and I still find myself in the enemy camp.
