 I'm also for freedom and liberty. I live in Portugal and 50 years ago, we conquered Democracy from Salazar's dictatorship. In the last years, the rise of the far-right movements, the fake news, lies, conspiracy theories and hate speeches as left me very worried. I'm against regimes (left or right), I'm in the middle ground, I'm a social democrat.
Democracy have rules, you cannot offend anyone based on the color of the skin, race, sex, religion, spread misinformation, fake news, lies etc. I'm against that, not freedom or liberty as you mentioned.
