So, these are centre-Left politicians, correct? So, why are they doing this? For our 'safety? ' Right...
These politicians need a lesson in civics. You are not building safeguards that stop nazis, you are building the nazi “person finding” infrastructure for them before they even get in power.
The centre left keeps doing it:
Remember: Obama set up the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies. Obama also signed the USA freedom act (prolonging the patriot act though lightening it a tad bit).
They keep digging the hole Russians will bury them in.
For all the talk that Obama did, great job of showing that he is a sell out by extending the Patriot Act and all the spying that it allows.
Or, the most obvious, less moving parts answer is that they are corrupt and only will push policies and fear mongering that will keep them in power. Irrelevant if they are Left or Right.
You are being too kind if you think they are not 100% aware of what they are doing. They do not need a lesson in Civics, they need to be replaced.
