The kind where we've allowed the GOP and Roger Ailes' propaganda apparatus to demagogue about terrorism and security for far too long without challenging the lies, and so now we have a population which has been thoroughly groomed to accept this kind of dangerous trespassing on our privacy without objection.

So Apple is all we've got left. The top-rank leftists in our politics today—Hillary, Sanders, and Obama—are all failing us.

Failing? No, Hillary and Obama are giddy participants, eager to push forward the exact same agenda you're talking about. They are the political creators after all, directly responsible. Hillary couldn't be more of a hawk and Obama has pushed forward on spying at every opportunity. Ailes? Laughable compared to real political power in DC; Obama is the head of the US military and NSA, he's the one choosing to push the actual programs forward. You might as well try blaming Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity, they're sideshow clowns next to real power.
