If ever right-wingers were ever in doubt of the guarantees of democracy, they need only to look at Russia, especially now and see how people are swept off the street and into prison for daring to voice a political opinion. Such a reality magnifies the obscenity of Americans who scream about their rights being violated when required to wear masks in privately-owned businesses or required vaccines to work in particular businesses. They shit all over freedom of others and blame the left that they have no rights.
