ELI5: why are Americans so apathetic in demanding/enforcing the "free market" they supposedly value so highly? See - Anti-Tesla legislation, AT&T, Comcast, etc communication monopolies, lack of transparency in healthcare pricing, ad infinitum.

Invoking the free market is a rhetorical bludgeon, much like the terms 'socialism' or 'terrorist', designed to draw an emotional response and not an actual thing that people understand or even truly desire in most cases.

I would be willing to wager that only maybe one in fifty Americans who bring up Adam Smith have actually read anything by the man.
