What “freedom” means to Republicans
This is pretty accurate:
Short version of Twitter thread (how sad is that?):
To an American right winger, freedom means the freedom to do what you want and the freedom to tell other people what they have to do. Both freedoms are crucial, and are not seen as being in any kind of tension, for the reasons explained in the thread.
It’s basically an ideologized version of oppositional defiant disorder. Or, you know, fascism.
