The right cares about THEIR freedoms. They are pretty consistent about not wanting anyone else to have freedoms, especially if they aren’t white.

I don't tend to lump all the right into the racist basket; left are just as racist in their own ways, if we want to keep segmenting into left/right paradigm. But yeah freedom is contingent on the limits of how people feel about it... quite whimsical
Obviously, the world isn’t black and white, which makes our left/right 2 party system all the more disfunctional. But if you could get an honest assessment of racial views of say Tucker Carlson fans vs John Oliver fans, you are definitely see results skewed in two different directions. The race thing was mostly just a cheeky afterthought though. My main point was the conservative tendency to think of “freedoms” in terms of “rules for thee but not for me.
Yeah I suppose that's true overall. Somebody described it as the left views freedom as 'freedom from', whereas the right see it as 'freedom to'. I think that's a good summation. Honestly, extremes from each aside, I'm not sure which is better. Typically, a balance.
