The premise isn't that the partisan left that intentionally ignored Obama's abuses should just shut up, but rather that it's very likely already too late.

Roll back Obama's 10x increase in NSA spying capabilities? Not a chance. The Republicans have the house, senate, supreme court, executive branch, and most of the states. The left should have been loudly protesting their own President's rights violations, that was the only shot they had. This was all very predictable, inevitably a dangerous person will come into the Presidency, that's why you don't allow someone like Obama (or anyone) to push through such extraordinarily dangerous policies if you can help it.

The protesting over things like the wall or this temporary ban on people coming into the US from seven nations, is a sideshow to the abuses Obama and Bush's espionage efforts will make possible in the next decade. Nothing can be done about that now, Trump isn't going to care about liberal protests against spying programs.

The point is, the next time you get a liberal President in office, protest like crazy, encourage them to not violate civil liberties; rather, encourage them to protect them aggressively. Protesting Obama might have worked, protesting Trump is going to be mostly ineffectual.

None of this matters. It doesn't matter what people did or didn't do in the past, and it doesn't matter what they'll do at some indefinite point in the future. This is something that's happening right now. I have no idea why you would be more focused on other things that other people may or may not have done at other times than this thing that is most definitely happening right now. If you want to blame liberal governments for this, remember that the more liberal candidate argued just as passionately against this approach, as the victorious candidate argued in favor of it. So I don't see how you can claim that this is the fault of anyone but the person who is currently making this happen.
