Now that Trump is in charge of the NSA, the broader Democratic Party will once again rediscover privacy as a core civil liberties issue, after having almost completely ignored it for the prior eight years. The few consistent champions of privacy on the left in DC, will be joined by a large wave of fair weather supporters. It's better than the alternative of nobody caring for the next N years of Trump's Presidency. Unfortunately, the Democrats will also have very little power to do anything about the espionage boom that's about to occur. If the left base had really wanted to make a difference, they should have aggressively protested Obama's radical expansion of espionage programs, he might have listened more had the protests been much larger.
