Most conservatives I know put three letter agencies on a pedestal and loathe big tech. I remembering being baffled by the previous apple iphone fiasco. They we adamant that apple should have backdoors in everyone's phone so the fbi could catch anonymous bad people while at the same time espousing how they don't trust apple. It was baffling.

Witness the liars from the CIA who used to appear on Fox now appearing on MSNBC or CNN instead. Meanwhile arch-neocon Liz Cheney, who presumably hasn't switched parties because a Democrat would lose in Wyoming, is facing a primary challenger from within the GOP.

There will always be a place for a previously-elected legacy reptile in the bureaucracy, as she gradually takes over her father's client book. She'll never have a problem getting Senate confirmation, no matter where they decide to stick her.

- jessaustin 6y ago"Conservatives" have pretended to be "libertarians" for so long that neither term really has a meaning anymore (in USA). Those who actually value freedom are anarchists. ISTM "conservatives" were always happy to oppress unfortunates, and likewise happy to enlist the help of the state in doing so. They invented police and FBI for that purpose.
