I find it interesting that discussions of freedom in the context of states like Texas tend to be more about freedom for businesses instead of personal freedom.

I find it interesting that discussions of freedom in the context of states like Texas tend to be more about freedom for businesses instead of personal freedom.
When did that start happening?
- VonGuard 2y agoThe 1980's when Reagan turned this country upside down and showed the GOP that cutting taxes wins them elections, even if it makes the debt go out of control and you can no longer pay for anything the government buys.
- bobthepanda 2y agoThe personal freedom thing has always been rules for thee and not for me, particularly in the religious South. Lawrence v. Texas led to legalizing consensual homosexual activity. The personal freedom thing might gain traction again because people are realizing that explicitly endorsing Christianity as core to the identity of the country often goes hand in hand with picking a favorite version of it and demonizing others, which is why the separation was historically included.
