I really will never understand how the left abandoned personal freedom so quickly.

It's the single biggest issue that moved me from left to right. In 2015 the right was the only political platform attempting to stand for personal liberties. Which is so weird because 'liberalism' is literally about 'freedom' from all types of impositions on behavior. Today we are totally off script. Liberals argue for all types of laws and restrictions on thought and behavior. Conservatives do nothing but raise money from donors to get elected and then do nothing to stop the impending collapse of the country. Conservatives that do try to fix problems are quietly replaced or have their careers destroyed with the magical assault accusation of 'racism' or other ism. In the meantime the wealth, health and sanity of the middle class is being razed.

It's just raw real politik now.
