Summary:
The book examines the concept of freedom from a progressive perspective, challenging conservative notions and arguing that the political right has co-opted the term to serve its own agenda. It delves into the ways language shapes political thought and offers a framework for progressives to reclaim the narrative on freedom in American discourse.
Key points:
1. Biconceptualism: Lakoff says people can have both conservative and liberal views, depending on the issue.
