The big difference we'll see between the two parties is that the democrats will embrace the creation of the police state enthusiastically while the republicans embrace it "reluctantly". Both will embrace it, though.

Left and right may be irrelevant in this case.

Leftists like the idea of the police state for social reasons.

Those on the right support it in the name of law and order.

Throw all those campaign contributions in from those who seek to make a profit on the technology involved, and the combination is almost unbeatable.

When are Americans going to hold their government responsible for this mess?

The left/right scale has always struck me as being just varying degrees of socialism. The extreme right seems to end up at Hitler, and the extreme left ends at Stalin. American politicians all try to paint themselves as being in the middle instead of realizing that they're on the wrong airplane.

Probably the day Americans wake up and hold these moral retards accountable will be a generation or so after the demise of today's news media.

When are Americans going to hold their government responsible for this mess?

When it starts losing the war.
