I don't disagree with that but the surveillance I'm referencing is far more pervasive than just your phone or vehicle.
It's also a web of devices like flock cameras and license plate readers and listening devices and Bluetooth monitoring devices and signal capturing devices, all interconnected that will track everyone's movements, what they say and where they go and what they are doing, all without your consent or knowledge.

I would also reiterate that much of this is actively being promoted and encouraged by Democrats in Congress as much as Republicans.
The Kids Online Safety Act, a key legislative goal of Democrats in Congress, will require people to submit a government ID in order to use the Internet and uniquely identity you, where you go and what you say and will be stored and analyzed by companies like Palantir.
