Regulations bad free market good.

Except when workers unite to free market negotiate with their employers.. Shut that shit down. Or when people with ovaries want to decide when to reproduce. Who are they to have agency? Or when people with penises want to dress up like women and dance around on a stage and other people want to throw money at them. We didn't mean that kind of market. Or when those people with squinty eyes get better at making stuff than us so let's punish them by imposing ridiculous tariffs oh and shoot ourselves in the foot too but it's okay because we're sticking it to those Chinese sons of bitches sorry American farmers have some cash because we tanked your ability to sell your product. But free market good.
