    And yes, this nation has long since loved symbols of freedom while bending over backwards to actually restrict those freedoms from millionshttps://twitter.com/shaunking/status/882459836423827456 …

    The United States is not the best country in the world. Anyone who says this has a definition of greatness rooted in greed & white supremacy

        Can you give an example of any current freedom the US ''bends over backwards" to restrict?

        I assume you're talking about voter ID. I think that's a great idea. People should have ID. Of any colour. That's not a great example.

        I think it's more than vote ID: it's suppression, gerrymandering, laws restricting access.

        Gerrymandering often works in favour of minorities, enabling them to elect minority politicians in areas where that is an issue.

        Replying to @IamNotBS @ZezeSwanson and

        Suppression - evidence? Laws restricting access - not a race thing, ensures voters are who they say they are ( a good thing).

        There are active measures to restriction voting, arrest more people, etc. We have poor leadership in America and democracy is dying.
