When my friend became a Republican after a being a lifelong Democrat, one of the first things he started to say was, "never let the opposition control the language."

The right defines those words, freedom, justice, with what their empty ideology represent; not their actual meanings.

The right has zero credibility on freedom or justice.

I don’t even understand how someone can understand what “right wing” means while also claiming it to equal freedom.

They are literally on the “authority” side!

There was a great piece on the notion of Southern liberty (the way the right defines it) vs. the way virtually everyone else defines it. The right's idea of "liberty" is being able to rule over others.
