I just don't find that a very satisfying explanation! How did they acquire that perverse idea of 'freedom'?

Pretty sure future historians will come up with something a bit deeper and less contingent. Political events occur for socio-economic reasons, it's not some random intervention by aliens or demons.
I'm just impatient to know what those historians will say, i guess.
They don’t want freedom, they want dominance. Trump is exactly like them in that way - he has no goals outside of his own self aggrandizement and the only pleasure he truly feels in life is crushing people and getting revenge. Revenge and dominance is what his supporters want.

They're British. They already know that but want to wallow in their own misery so they can keep playing the befuddled "charming" dipshits to justify clapping themselves on their backs about how that makes them smarter and superior to everyone else.

Which, so people know that Murdoch literally had his media companies hack people's stuff to get tabloid news. What do you think he's been having them do for the bigger stuff? And keep in mind that the US basically doesn't seem to give any shits about that behavior. Not to mention can you imagine the dirt they have on Republicans speaking when they think the cameras/mics aren't on?
