How Do People Fall for Right-Wing Narratives?

Are you free if you are in debt? Are you free if you are being exploited by low wages, no healthcare? What does this mean for America, a country that is based on freedom, what happens when people who see freedom as the ability to pollute the environment, exploit workers, migrants and women get to define freedom?

What does freedom mean to you? According to Republicans freedom is a completely individual thing, while progressives see freedom much differently, as part of the function of society, Should society pick up our brothers, sisters and siblings when they fall? Republicans would have you believe that doing so, is wrong and akin to communism?
