I feel like you substituted 'idiot' for 'politician'. It would be quite surprising if regular people wanted more mass surveillance.
But if latter's really the case, then why?
I think it's more apathy than an actual desire for more mass surveillance. People don't care until they are directly, negatively affected. Same as it ever was.
