    It’s not a lie. Old school conservatives used that phrase to justify limited regulations on business. It was never about personal freedom.

      Yeah, but see how they react to things like DEI at corporations or corporations like Bud Light being “woke”.

        Traditional conservatives are the ones painting their cans whatever colors will rake in more money, without donating the profits to an LGBTQ+ cause, because there’s no law requiring them to be ethical in business.

        MAGA Republicans are the ones who get bent out of shape by wokeness and want to ban the rainbow.

        They both suck, but for different reasons.
