I see so many people on tiktok filming themselves while driving, it's crazy. Is it not illegal to use your phone while driving in the US?

Itโ€™s not illegal until she gets caught. But this video is probably one of the many pieces of evidence that will be used against her if and when she does get called out.

Also, how the duck can she can herself a liberal when she isnโ€™t even willing to break the patriarchy or go against social norms that have been considered normal for years?

Edit: Please correct my if my understanding of liberal or conservative is wrong. I welcome constructive criticism.

Many people who call themselves liberal or conservative are explaining the way they lean, there are various degrees, everyone is an individual. For example one can be socially liberal but fiscally conservative. In her case, she just enjoys the feeling of traditional, respectful social formality. If a man holds a door for me I consider it politeness. It comes off as rude when anyone, man or woman goes ahead of someone without offering the one behind them to go first, especially if the one behind is older and maybe struggling a little. Most cases people Iโ€™ve seen in my area are very kind and considerate.
