This is what I don’t understand of the Biden Administration over Trump’s. I thought they were for the people? As much fluff as Trump talked about, we did not see any state surveillance advancements during his time.

Why did you ever believe something like that? The Obama Admin expanded drone strikes and some of the surveillance the Bush admin started. They lessened the amount of troops in the Middle East while expanding drone sticks around the area.

Context of my comment was domestic surveillance and had nothing to do with international affairs. The Obama administration essentially pushed the gas pedal on state surveillance started by Bush administration. If you recall, Snowden was one of the outcomes of this.
