I would say that even though this is old, it's still very relevant. You have to realize that once a horrible idea that is even more extreme enters the orbit of the GOP, it seems to eventually become the norm. I think it's because these bills don't come out of nowhere - there are groups that feed the GOP new ideas and they then start proposing these bills in the most extreme states like Texas, Oklahoma, etc. Even when it initially fails, it comes back later and finds more success. 
A lot of people interpret extremist GOP bills that are bound to fail on their initial run as "pandering to the base", but I think we shouldn't write them off that easily. We must instead be prepared for these ideas popping up again later. D:

And they almost certainly become law due to the GOP having supermajorities in those states.
The only freedoms they care about is (a) the right to have a huge arsenal of assault rifles, and (b) the right to cyberbully LGBTQ+ people online.
(To me, quoting Leviticus 18:20-22, or telling them they will go to hell is considered bullying. If the MAGAs are denied that opportunity on any platform, they'll see it as "proof" of "Christian persecution").
