That was such total horseshit and they always knew it. And we knew it, too.
No way those little weasels would tolerate women leaving to go to a free country or a free state to get health care they don’t approve of, either. That’s assuming they could even afford to.
Otherwise, why even go through this bullshit of banning it in just certain states?
All conservatives truly HATE and despise and loathe actual freedom.
There used to be an article I’d link to that had a very long dissertation on the notion of Southern “liberty” vs. the Northern kind. Basically, the Southern kind of “liberty” considers things like property rights (and treating other people like property) of utmost concern, so much like what you are getting at here: the idea that others might have agency even if you don’t like what they are doing is not something they value, at all.
BTW, it’s very interesting to see how you’ll see this manifest. The right went on and on and on about “cities burned to the ground” and the damage to businesses as a supposed counter to what BLM was protesting, which was the murder of people. I don’t think they even realized what they were revealing about themselves.
I recently read The Unhumans, and IIRC, they made a big deal about how “liberals are coming to take your stuff”, too. Very instructive.
That last comment came from the reactionary centrists and the gaslighting overtly right wing as well.
By the way, the very same fucking people that serve as the exasperating Tone Police on this are the same ones doing the same thing when it comes to properly calling the J6 people terrorists (and not “rioters” or “peaceful protesters”, FFS) and calling the Republican project what it is: fascism.
It’s very possible to be a reactionary centrist on virtually every issue and we have that in droves.
Reactionary centrists are generally dipshits and/or just conservatives that like to gaslight and not admit they are conservatives. Of course the conservative media, aka, “the liberal media” is chock full of these types.
Favorite tactic: they will talk about how “there are extremes on both sides” and then go on to parrot talking points straight outta Bullshit Mountain.
“They are coming for abortion rights!” -the left. “Were coming for your abortion rights!” - the gop
“Stop over reacting!” - Centrists
“We will leave it up to the States” - GOP (Lindsey and the Bunch)
ME: Yeah, right. Ffs

They don’t hate actual freedom, they just want the freedom to control others’ freedom and not vice versa, you know, like slaves.

In practice, yes. But then there are bozos like this.

Who regurgitate right wing talking points.
