As can be seen by the flip-flopping of „liberals“ and „conservatives“ over the surveillance state, the entire concept of those labels is really no different than if you‘re rooting for the orange team or the yellow team. It‘s like the old joke about how if you root for a sports team, you‘re really rooting for the laundry. People focused on whether something is „liberal enough“ or „conservative enough“ are wasting everyone‘s time. These issues are not about being „liberal“ or „conservative.“ They‘re about doing what‘s right. It‘s not about partisan politics or which team you play for or root for. It should be about what is best for the country and the wider world in which we live.
