A Bit of Wisdom from Frederic Bastiat
“If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?” ~ Claude-Frédéric Bastiat, 30 June 1801 – 24 December 1850

Freedom to what?
Infect others with a deadly virus-refuse masks or vaccinations.
Carry a deadly weapon which kills scores of school children.
Force one religion on all.
Buy our representatives so they can end regulation of them.
Threaten our children's future by ending all efforts to curb causes of climate change.
The Libertarian view which the SCOTUS has ruled is now in effect is the remedy is not regulation to catch threats , but the use of the courts, and Congress to write the regulations.
This opinion will cause plaintiffs going to court to literally climb over stacked bodies to argue their case to the SCOTUS, who will now rule against them.
This is not Freedom, Liberty , it is tyranny by the conservative Libertarian few over the majority. This was not the design of the founding fathers and our Constitution.

You miss the point. The swamp detests the rest of America. The one metropolitan area that is a complete parasitical leech on the rest of society has the hubris to think they know best for the people who pay for their pathetic little lives.

The first commenter probably would like Hitler's version of "Freedom" better
