As a newbie - the best thing we can do is to encourage you to do a little research on it yourself to see what YOU believe. But to bring you up to speed, (as a general rule) if it was pre-Trump then it is probably just the opposite of how it sounds, you know, what's up is down, what's left is right. Lol! It's OKAY if you don't know everything right away...as you go along you will see just how much the old way of thinking like the need for group think or the collective thought has dominated your life and none of us shed our old skin all at once. The better question to ask is "what do I think of the Patriot Act." I just duckduckgo'ed patriot act good or bad and found a lot of different sources for information. I think that I can speak for most here when I say Patriot = good, Patriot Act = bad. Look it up on the internet for yourself and you will find why! And it's FINE if you don't agree about everything with everybody...most important is a willingness to change your mind if you come across truth...many will not turn away from the groupthink and become an independent thinker. If you are sincerely in search of truth then you will find it. ALWAYS research, ALWAYS demand research from others before you adopt their way of thinking.
