Tokeless, you hold a belief that all rights must be given to you. I hold a belief that you and I and everyone on the planet are born with certain, inalienable rights.
We hold different beliefs and this leads to different conclusions.
For instance, you and I have the natural right to worship X. Maybe we draw a picture of X. But, an authority, someone with power can infringe upon our right. They can threaten to punish you, to take away that right. In some cases, they may even execute you for exercising your natural right.
Let’s say an election happens and you are now allowed to draw a picture of X. Did the authority give you that right?
Under your system of beliefs the answer is yes. The authority granted you the right, the privilege to draw a picture of X. Under my beliefs the answer is no. The authority didn’t give me anything. They only stopped oppressing, infringing upon my natural right to draw X.
In my opinion there is no correct answer. It’s different beliefs. The government doesn’t give me the right to draw a picture of X.

Look at the reaction to Obama being the POTUS... look at Trump demonising Hispanics and appealing to the white supremacists for the vote. The USA might appear on the surface to observe the constitution but reality is greater than fiction.
You really need to change what you are watching/reading.
When did Trump demonish Hispanics? Let me guess, when he stated that people coming across the border illegally are murderers and rapists?
Look at the reaction to Obama? What reaction? Like holy c@#$, the guy got elected not once, but twice. And people friggin worship the ground his wife walks on and want her to run for President.
Yep, a super white supremacist nation. Insert sarcasm.
There is no leader of the “free world”. That is just gibberish. Give me a list of countries that make up the free world. Tell me which countries are conveniently excluded as to keep with the evil white patriarchy narrative.
