Yup. The Apple-FBI encryption dispute started under Obama, as did the Snowden leak.

Neither party is particularly pro-encryption, because governments in general see encryption by the public a hurdle for their operations (i.e. you don't need encryption if you have nothing to hide).

Encryption isn't a partisan issue, and my understanding is that both major parties suck about equally on this issue.

It’s a wonder they’re not also trying to outlaw printing presses at this point. They openly believe that we are not entitled to private conversations.

Printing press is okay. One-time-code books are tantamount to treason!
