Republicans claim that government is inefficient, corrupt and wasteful... then get elected and prove their point.
Looking for examples in the US is pointless since all government departments are generally run by people hamstrung by the whims of a system which despises their existence and a public who regularly spit on them in service of worshipping the corporation gods.
Other countries manage to run such services fine when both government and the people believe in them.
Bearing in mind that Trump wanted the IP addresses of 1.3 million people who visited a protest website against his inauguration, I'd add the 1st amendment in there quite heavily too.
The US has already provided safe-harbour to IRA terrorists in the past who've bombed and killed on UK soil and then fled to the US...
Heck, people in the US even funded the IRA without consequence, so quit the "If an American..." BS.
We didn't lose it. Empires rise and fall. We just decided to grant most of the colonies independence once a few started causing trouble (usually aided by the French).
SWAT teams are trained with military techniques and use military gear, which is very bad for a domestic, peacetime operation. It makes them nervous, jumpy and trains them to see threats everywhere instead of people.
You can't really call him divisive just because the GOP blew all their dog whistles to ferment a fury of hatred from their minions...
His policies were nothing approaching controversial and he had not a single scandal in his whole 8 years in the White House.
"Social media platforms like those aren't really any different from ISPs, conceptually."
That's just wrong. It's like saying there's no difference between a shop and a road. Sure the shop can decide which products it's gonna sell, but it can't stop you from using the road to visit a competitor instead.

IKR. You can't use an adjective to modify a verb! 'Holding it wrongly.'
A hackintosh is a non-Apple computer configured to run MacOS. You can't hackintosh an Apple product.
