And you have a. Twisted definition of freedom. Based on the people you support.. I would suggest you are the one afraid. Afraid of the Others
Who don’t look or think like you .

That seems to be the litmus test for being a true conservatives American

1st swear allegiance to Trump
2 nd swear allegiance to Trump
3rd swear allegiance to Trump. Maybe a tax cut
4th repeat the election was stolen or at least claim there were irregularities
5th use invasion ,hunter , Hillary , fauci, woke , Bide and dementia or Soros in a sentence once a week
6th never tell or believe .truth or facts . When in doubt refer to rule 1-3

Then your in!

it’s “authoritarian” to leave businesses and schools open so people can live their lives!!!! but not authoritarian to close
businesses and force people
to inject experimental medicine they don’t want.

you are priceless.

conservatives want less federal government overall, than liberals.

say that again snag again until it sinks in.

That is the single biggest differentiator between the parties, and you got it completely wrong.

No state has had more covid deaths than Florida, in the period that all adults were eligible for vaccines.

and because FL has a huge elderly population, you need to adjust the data to normalize for that, when comparing one state to another. Statistics 101.

overall deaths don’t matter? all that matters is finding some time period in which FL looks bad, and then failing to normalize for demographic differences.

People and businesses are moving there pete, there’s a reason why.

I didn't mind doing it. Others were coerced.

SO do we have bodily autonomy, or not? Because I'm fairly certain that when discussing another issue, the entire liberal position is based on the notion that people can't be told what to do with their own bodies. When discussing vaccines, that "principle" goes right out the window.

Texas public schools required to display “In God We Trust” posters if they are donated

Texas law that requires public schools to display signs and posters with the national motto "In God We Trust" in "conspicuous places." The law requires that the signs were either donated or purchased from private donations to the school.

"Read the bill. Sign must contain "In God We Trust" US flag, Texas flag and "may not depict" any other words or images," Hughes wrote. "Print what you like, but only these signs qualify under the law."


Is this your version of Freedom and small government

The signs had the right message, as required by law. One stated "In God We Trust" over a rainbow background. Another was in Arabic. But the Carroll school district in North Texas rejected the signs, saying it already has enough for its buildings.

Imagine that
