Eric Trump on X22 on Thanksgiving Day is something interesting. And Trump posts “Give Me Freedom or give me Death” on his TS account.

Trump posts "Give Me freedom or give me Death"

Why "Freedom" and not "Liberty" as in the Patrick Henry quote?

Any significance?

My old copy of S.I. Hayakawa’s “Use The Right Word”, says liberty is more of an abstract and general notion suggesting the opportunity to choose among alternatives while freedom stresses a total lack of constraint more than the opportunity for choice.

Just something i remember from the old days and probably useless here.
