I once had a Republican tell me he was, “black woke, not trans woke.”
I told him I didn’t know what that meant, and he said, “I don’t hate people for who they are, but people can’t just be whatever they want to be.”
Cue the Nathan Fielder meme of him just saying, “oh… Okay.”
Just the same person that a few years ago would have been convinced by phrenology.
I read something once that made a lot of sense. For the left, freedom means “freedom from”. For the right, freedom means “freedom to”.
I mean, for me, it means both. I’m a big believer in FDR’s concept of four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
Freedom from want & fear 🔥 beautifully stated
well, all the examples in the image are “freedom to”, and are leftist viewpoints, so I’m not sure about that that statement.
What Republicans forget is freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from the natural consequences.
