The American people are finally beginning to see that, despite their lip service to the contrary, Republicans are not the party of “freedom” or “liberty” for middle class working people.
When conservatives talk about “freedom” or “liberty,” what they mean is “freedom” for ginormous corporations to run roughshod over the rights of workers, consumers and our shared environment, but want to micromanage and dictate control over every aspect of everyone else’s personal lives.
In reality, conservatives want to take away liberty and freedom from everyone else and micromanage every aspect of others’ private lives.
Conservatives are the ones who want to dictate total control over private relationships (dictate who you can or can’t marry or even what behavior is allowed behind closed doors), private medical choices (reproductive choices such as abortion, IVF or contraception, medical or recreational marijuana, end of life choices, stem cell therapies, gender-identity care), tell us what books we or our children can have access to, or try to force PRIVATE religion into PUBLIC policy and religious rituals into public meetings or subsidize it with special tax advantages (socialized religion).
