   Let's see...   
      
   Freedom to voter equality regardless of background or ethnicity.   
      
   Freedom for kids to go to school without fear of being murdered en masse.   
      
   Freedom for teachers to actually teach a sane and sensible curriculum.   
      
   Freedom for women to not be fetishised by old men on what they can or   
   cannot do with their bodies.   
      
   Equal access to healthcare should be a human right.   
      
   Freedom of workers from being exploited by billionaire-owned megacorps. And   
   then being gaslit.   
      
   Freedom from fear of being murdered by police who then face literally no   
   repercussions. Unless it becomes an international embarrassment.   
      
   Freedom to criticise the state, even if is being led by an orange,   
   thin-skinned man baby.   
      
   Free speech and expression. Since January the US has increasingly limited   
   free speech.   
      
   Freedom for victims of crime to see justice be done regardless of how rich   
   the accused is or how many connections they have. In any other developed   
   country Trump would have been in jail years ago.   
      
   You'll find all the above in most of Europe.
