Moderate charlie, a few questions:

1. You acknowledge you were personally unaffected during COVID. How does that establish whether anyone else lost a freedom?

2. Your relatives still squirrel hunt, so gun rights haven’t been restricted? If someone can still attend one church, does that prove the government hasn’t restricted religious freedom anywhere?

3. Does a mandate only count if someone physically holds you down? If the government conditions your livelihood on compliance, is that still just a choice? Would you apply that same standard to a Republican policy?

4. You count restrictions on weed and gay marriage as lost freedoms. Fair enough. Would restrictions on which firearms someone can buy count under that same standard, or does “individual choice” depend on whether you approve of the choice?

5. You dismissed speech because you believe that freedom is already gone. Even accepting that premise, how does an existing restriction make additional restrictions irrelevant?

Are we discussing everyone’s freedoms, or just whether charlie had an inconvenient Tuesday?

This potus is the one taking freedom away, he has his USSC allow him to try and take away black representation and black voter rights also he is the one trying to stop freedom of the press because he doesn’t like coverage, removing comedians from air and having FCC sue and threatening take broadcast licenses. What freedom has Dems taken in last 10 yrs? I’ll wait

They get their news from social media. Or a media channel that has an agenda.

Some ppl need to step out of their bubble. Some of these ppl saying this garbage haven’t even been out of the country.

yes. it definitely would be a restriction. hell.......making people wear seatbelts and helmets for bikes are a simple lost freedom.

I'll vote for anyone who'll fight against AIPAC influence and the surveillance state being downloaded against our will. We are occupied by tyrants today, the uni-party under control of the tiny hats.
