When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything.

That statement is true. When you have enough money, some women will indeed let you do anything. Some people have no self-respect.

There are even websites that cater to women like this:

There's also a GoFundMe for getting Don. Jr a chin. Please give generously.

I think an argument could be made that Democrats and Republicans have different views of what aspects of freedom are important. Democrats favor abortion, for example, but not being able to choose other healthcare matters such as taking vaccines. But to answer the OP, here are issues that matter to Republicans that Democrats tend to take an opposite view on:

Democrats favor the government or corporations censoring "false information" even if that impacts free speech: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/07/20/most-americans-favor-restrictions-on-false-information-violent-content-online/

29% of democrats believe unvaccinated parents should lose custody of their children: https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/partner_surveys/jan_2022/covid_19_democratic_voters_support_harsh_measures_against_unvaccinated

51% of likely Biden voters believe unvaccinated people should be interred in "designated facilities": https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/partner_surveys/jan_2022/covid_19_democratic_voters_support_harsh_measures_against_unvaccinated

Democrats have more favorable views of socialism, and more negative views of capitalism: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/09/19/modest-declines-in-positive-views-of-socialism-and-capitalism-in-u-s/

Also: Republicans support school shootings and mass shootings. They're the price of freedom.

That's intellectually dishonest. Republicans don't believe that gun control will reduce mass shootings. That is a different belief than "supporting" mass shootings. I could argue that democrats support mass shootings because they cut funding to law enforcement and demand more lenient sentences for violent offenders. But I wouldn't make that argument because I have scruples.

Case in point... 50 Shades of Gray. Because you know if that guy was ugly or poor, it'd be super creepy.

No, it isn't. History already shows that gun control will reduce mass shootings. The AWB reduced mass shootings significantly, and when it expired, mass shootings shot up. That's proven historical fact. You are either clueless or have absolutely zero scruples.

"Freedom" is just another word the GOP perverts to win elections and gain power. They just lie and use emotionally-charged rhetoric to fool voters.

[Anonymous]

Voters know when they get told:
“Vax, or no more job.” That’s coercion to poor people. They couldn’t feed their children if they got fired from their jobs. Democrats did that to them.

For conservatives, Freedom is when they are in control and are free to tell everybody else what they can and can’t do. For example, they think freedom of religion means they should be able to force everyone to recite a Christian prayer. Oppression is when other people have rights and don’t have to shut up and conform to the conservative bullying.

Trump deserves as much respect as he affords others which is basically zero.

Because you tried to force people to do your bidding during Covid (as an example) And wished them dead if they didn't? Left wingers are just evil now.

You're deranged. We didn't manage to "force" a damn thing because after even ONE WEEK of attempting to slow the spread you idiots were at your state capitol buildings with AR-15s screaming about not being able to go to some shitty happy hour at Hooters or whatever. And some of you morons even attempted to kidnap and murder your governors over it (Whitman). And still you pretend you've been somehow grossly wronged and aggrieved for what, having to endure people wearing masks? Piss off.
