We have seen an expansion of citizen participation and voter rights, the expansion of opportunity, the expansion of worker rights, and the expansion of public education.

All of these have helped to expand freedom for a greater number of Americans.

What radical Republicans aim to do is reverse many of these hard-won gains and go back to the time before these progressive freedoms were established.

They want to conserve their own distorted version of freedom — a “freedom” that does not include many of the freedoms that have been expanded over the past centuries to include more people and more situations.

They want to undo voting rights, worker protections, civil rights and environmental protections — all essential to modern American freedom.
Their successful effort to undo Roe v. Wade after decades of trying attests to their zeal for rolling back women’s freedom.
