Conservatives love forcibly imposing their lifestyle on people in the name of "freedom." It's amazing how successful they've been in getting people to buy into their ass-backwards logic.

Only Conservatives could call "freedom" sitting in a metal cage, surrounded by others in metal cages, when "woke" alternatives (like walking!! 🫢) are freely available to them. There is no logic, only self-harm and the harm of others.

Being stuck in a traffic jam (that you're only contributing to) counts as freedom, whereas on a bike, you can just wheel your bike past the jam then be on your merry way.

Who has more freedom again?

It really does surprise me that letting a metal box insulating you from the world is what carbrains consider tough and FREE, whereas a bike, that you power with your OWN LEGS is sissy and WOKE! They have it so backwards!
