To them freedom means being able to do whatever THEY want. (By “they” of course I mean straight Christian nationalist white males.)
That does not apply to the rest of us.
They’re ALL about freedom: freedom from responsibility, freedom from compassion, freedom from caring, freedom from fairness, freedom from truth, freedom from people they don’t like, freedom from decency, freedom from intellect, freedom from history, freedom from vaccines…they’re ALL ABOUT freedom.
To be fair, the United States has an unspoken, but universally understood definition of freedom that isn't found in the dictionary:
Freedom (n) - the right of white male Christian property owners to never have to be exposed to anyone else's opinion or to care for anyone else's needs.
Wilhoit: Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

People will die, unfortunately not the right people.

Just ask Jean Carroll. 😡
"FREEDOM" in conservative speak means "I get to do anything I want, even if it's illegal, but YOU have to behave in a way I approve of."
This has never been freedom and it never will be.
