I didn’t say that at all. Just because someone isn’t a Republican doesnt make them a Democrat, and just because someone isn’t a Democrat doesnt make them a Republican.
Independents are a bigger demographic segment that Republicans or Democrats, and MANY independents, and many Dems, were against the Patriot Act. It would be nearly impossible to find a Republican who was against it.
Also, there is a big difference between the behavior of craven politicians of any party, and the citizens. Cowardly Democratic politicians voted for the Patriot Act because they were much more afraid of the backlash from terrified citizens in the wake of 9/11, than thinking Americans who could see that this bill was just a disguised Civil Rights grab.
But make no mistake, there were many people who thought the Patriot Act was a VERY bad idea, but NONE of them were Republicans.
Not ALL Americans, Conservative/ MAGA Traitors.
Most democrats also supported the Patriot act
The only people who resisted it were non-conservatives.
So the rest of them are conservatives regardless of party affiliation? I’d buy that.
Too bad they make up over half of the Democratic Party
And before you mention it, yes I do vote in primaries.

So vote Democrat and get the Patriot Act anyway
