    Isn’t that literally the opposite of freedom. Also of our international reputation. We’re weird and unique and that’s good.

      Conservative freedom is the freedom to do what they demand you to do, or face repercussions/punishment/violence.

      It’s especially ironic coming from Texas. Texas has a strong state identity and individualism is a big part of it.

        As lonh as being an “individual” means wearing a cowboy cosplay and carrying an emotional support firearm.

          Don’t forget the big booty 6 wheel pickup to drive from your suburb to your office job downtown.

            Downtown office jobs take skill. They’re driving from one suburb to another.

      Amen to that. It’s also anathema to our origins. We’ve always been a country of freaks, rejects, and free spirits. Conformity is unamerican.

      It’s the Southern notion of “freedom”. Meaning you get to rule over others.
