At this point there is no voting your way back to normal anymore. As others have pointed out, the Democrats will ratchet their way further to the right in order to take office again, and the surveillance state will continue to expand under their authority (albeit somewhat less rapidly)
The lower classes must wake up to this reality and take meaningful steps to remove the ownership class from power once and for all. Holding signs and chanting in a public square during a weekend won't be enough, the rich and powerful must be in fear of losing their wealth and their lives.
My area got flooded with Flock cameras during Biden's last year. Both parties want the surveillance no question. But they also want to be in power. God I hate those cameras.
Imho surveillance state will grow even more rapidly with democrats, just not overtly. They will make a stronger big brother which the republicans will use to promote fascism.
