I honestly think many people don't really know what freedom means. They think it's a one-way street that means they can get whatever they want, but they never consider that freedom means other people can do what they want, too.
I can't find it right now, but this reminds me of a tweet that said something like, "Americans think freedom means the ability to choose from between 8 different types of salad dressing instead of like, the ability to leave your job without losing your healthcare."
