They don't know what it means. I have a friend who would boast about how free America is (they are 2nd generation). It's taken over half a decade of me providing information that states otherwise. I think it's finally starting to settle in with them. Sadly, the propaganda runs deep and it can take a long time for someone to break free of thought control.
American Freedom has always been a bit of a pipe dream, or at the very least a too technical definition (you have the freedom to get rich, but you also have the freedom to die in the gutter or become a victim of any number of state-sanctioned for-profit organisations).
But Trumpism took the already dumb sentiment and perverted it just by continuing to spout it. While his admin works actively against it. Any definition of it.
