Welcome to freest country in the world. We will support genocide and still somehow convince own delusional selves that we are good guys.
What is it that we're free to do again? I have honestly forgotten what all these implied freedoms are actually supposed to entail.
You're free to love white Jesus
Ooh you've reminded me of this comic! Good 'ol S-S Jesus https://www.beliefnet.com/news/2003/09/the-gospel-of-supply-side-jesus.aspx
Rich, privileged white people are free to do anything. The rest of us are oppressed, beaten, and thrown in prison unless we obey.
You're free to choose from 48 different flavours of corn syrup filled packaged food.
gun
Not even. One police officer decides your sus while you're armed and that's it. They're allowed to execute you on the spot. That's not a right, that's a privilege with a death sentence for anyone who mistakes themselves as part of the privileged class.
They are allowed to execute you on the spot regardless of what you may or may not have on you. All they have to do is to say they were scared.
Yes but 80% of the time they cite their belief someone had a gun. To the point that once a gun is found at the scene everyone tunes out. (Other made up offenses include having a knife and having nothing but walking toward them)
Which brings us back to the point of a gun being an excuse to execute you on the spot. Which also means you don't actually have a 2nd amendment right. Rights that you only technically have, aren't actually extant.
It's okay though, we don't actually have any of the rights from Amendments 1-8. So it's not unusual for the second amendment to only technically exist either.
Or having a seizure on your kitchen floor.
Or having dementia and ending up at the wrong house because you think you live there.
If you have forgotten Feedom, you must be a Russian shill. /s
Will you're free to get fat, put on a blue uniform, and beat the fuck out of journalists and black people.
If that's not freedom, I don't know what is.
If "freedom" and "American exceptionalism" wasn't dead on arrival it certainly was tossed off a high bridge when Trump was elected.
