In reply to the discussion: This Republican Who Wants to End the Weekend Is Probably Headed to Congress [View all]stillwaiting
(3,795 posts)22. I despise right-wingers idea of "freedom".
Basically, it's freedom for the 1%, the wealthy elite, to do whatever they want to everybody else.
The result is that the 99% (at the very least 90%) are forced to lead shittier and shittier lives, but they expect for us to believe THAT makes us "free".
It's fucking Orwellian.
Their absolute contempt for the working class and poor is despicable.
