The GOP is all about freedom.

That is what they like to say. But when looking at what they say:

The GOP is all about ensuring the freedom of anyone to carry a weapon of death nearly anywhere,
but they say nothing about the freedom to be free from random gun violence.

The GOP is all about ensuring the freedom of big business to pay minimal wages,
but they are opposed to the freedom of workers to form unions.

The GOP is all about ensuring the freedom of billionaires to keep all of their money,
but they are opposed to US citizens freely voting for sensible regulations on business and billionaires.

The GOP is all about ensuring the freedom of a fetus to be carried to term,
but they are opposed to women freely excercising their own Constitutional rights.

They love to name drop it constantly...until its inconvenient to compare their actions to their words, then they change the topic or scream "fake news&quot the new "media bias&quot ... Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Let's make posters with these messages on them and post them in our front yards.

I'm terrible at making signs myself because I am the least artistic person around.

But these statements would make great signs or even banners.
