This is what our supposedly democratic, representative governments have become. We are spied upon, lied to, and subjected to elaborate and incessant campaigns of manipulation, disinformation and smear, using our own tax dollars.

Our nation is in crisis as a result of these criminals. The relationship between the American people and our government has been irrevocably changed.

It. Must. End.
