...you still have in America today depends upon several factors.
* Where you live
If you live in a red state - as opposed to a blue one - your rights are getting trampled by extreme conservatives who don't believe a woman has the right to her own body and should meekly accept their twisted ideology.
If you live in a blue state, a woman has more rights to her body and health care options.
If you live in a red state, it's more likely that radical groups are banning books in schools and libraries.
If you live in a blue state, the chance of book bans in schools and libraries is considerably less and generally only in certain rural counties.
If you live in a red state, your children are more likely to be indoctrinated in a fact free version of history. Take Florida as a prime example.
If you live in a blue state, your children are more likely to get an education based upon factual history. Again, there's exceptions in some counties in some states.
* Who You Are
If you're a Caucasian, then you have more civil rights than other ethnic groups in America.
If you're Black or Brown, it's another story. Look at national police reports in every state and you'll find that more blacks are charged for crimes than Hispanics (they're 2nd) and of course Caucasians.
If you're religious, you could be targeted and murdered for your beliefs. Jews in particular are constantly suffering from attacks by deranged white nationalists across the country.
If you identify with the LGBTQ community, you're being marginalized by MAGA Republicans. You are also a moving target for hate groups no matter where you go. Trans rights are being stripped away daily in state courts.
* How Much Money & Power You Have
Too many freedoms in this country only apply if you're rich and have political power. The elite. The entitled. Politicians who make decisions to benefit themselves and not for the people they're supposed to serve.
We've become a caste society much like India. The haves and have nots with a sprinkling in-between of a frail middle class.
As it stands, how free and safe are you?
