I don’t think that’s how most Americans view politics, currently. Democrats voters generally feel like they’re settling for “lesser of two evils”. Republican voters have an irrational love of Trump, but they hate most of their own representatives and even Trump is a way for conservatives to lash out against their own establishment.
Americans don’t like the establishment in politics, they don’t like the status quo, and they want to shake things up even if it’s stupid.
Freedom is just kind of a bad concept, because it becomes self-contradictory really quickly, as one person’s freedom may end where another’s begins.
IE Should tyrants have the freedom to be tyrants? Is it tyranny to forbid tyrants from being tyrants?
