Democrats reclaim FREEDOM from Trump

Faith and freedom have historically been central rallying cries for the #Republican Party. However, during the 2024 #DemocraticNationalConvention, #Democrats appear to have reclaimed #freedom, arguing that with the growing array of restrictive measures championed by Republicans, the #GOP can no longer claim to be the party of true freedom.

Freedom to read what you want, to raise your kids the way you want, to control your own body, to vote, to love who you

[Pudpuds-kk]

I've always found it odd when they said they're fighting for freedom. But later I realized it's freedom for them to dictate the lives of other people, especially marginalized people.

[BlocP]

Gotta love how freedom to them only means freedom for them, not their fellow Americans who disagree.

[GrammyT]

We are taking it all back! USA! USA! USA! Patriotism, FREEDOM! *AND* The American Flag!!

[Redheadedwizard]

Same thing I have saved for years. People are so brain washed. I'm not sure if they know what freedom actually is.

[mdhobbssr]

They are talking about their freedom to infringe on everyone else's freedoms

[RPauliecc]

This is just common sense. Can't believe they don't see the hypocrisy.

[hellomcfly]

I'm glad they've picked up the message. The current Republican party under trump isnt about freedoms at all.

[glitchy]

They don't mean freedom they mean freedom for them to do as they please with others.

[JKB-jixl]

And in the end, the majority of Americans who voted voted against freedom. Those who couldn't be bothered to vote did the same.

[kamachiekaimachiande]

Banning books in schools is not freedom, a few people deciding for others which books should be on the shelves of public libraries is not freedom either.

Coming from a guy who steps over the grave of dead soldiers with a thumbs up 👍, disrespectful 😢

[melodytenisch]

Thanks Jan. Ignore the ignorant traitors who hate our country and women. Real men don't worship bullies.

[Thunderzero]

How about that baby’s freedom to live?

[bettybritt]

It is only freedom, if it applies to THEIR freedom.

[momhuskies]

They are for freedom for a select few but not for the rest of us.

[Neverland]

They meant freedom for them, remember silly, not freedom for us

[youngbleu]

They only meant Financial Freedom for themselves.

[mondomikeg]

Bro... they literally took away peoples ability to choose if they needed an abortion.

[aparkour]

You’re so right about that 1000%. They keep saying freedom when you’re not even giving freedom.
