Define socialism and let me know how economic theory impacts civil liberties. The US has had socialist programs for a long time and hasn't devolved into madness. If I recall correctly it's been the conservative Congress that has stripped protections by establishing "free speech zones", they pushed through the Patriot Act which stripped more civil liberties, they expanded the surveillance state, they removed civil liberties from everyone within 100 miles of the border to include airports. But you're right a business being told it can't discriminate against people when baking a cake is the absolute worst possible outcome. The cake maker had their artistic rights upheld by the courts as well, so I'm not sure what you're particularly upset about. Those other things I mentioned are still ongoing. I think perhaps you would benefit from adjusting your perspective and spending your valuable time where it actually could be impactful and useful to yourself and other citizens.

Your just as brainwashed as the rest of the idiots claiming that everyone in the US is entitled to have a good paternal government that takes care of them. Well takes care of every one but Anglo-Saxon & other white European Males. Our country was not founded to have a great paternal central government taking care of your lazy asses. Our central govt was only supposed to maintain a standing Navy for national defense, bring together each the States Armies in times of crises, make sure that Each State only passed laws that were Constitutional & other minor doings. The minimal taxes that the central govt received were to ensure said same & cover for the congressional delegates to assemble while maintaining what little the Small Central Government was supposed to do. Each State had its own soviern rights, though the centtral govt was slowly increasing from 1780's to 1860's, Lincolns actions single handedly destroyed our Constitutional States Rights & gave the Fed govt absolute power over our lives. This was further empowered by the actions of Wilson & FDR. The Socialist-Left that runs ramshod over our country now is this socialism to totalitarian communism. Though I was personally against it as it'd only bring us closer to Orwell's '1984' & "Big Brother", it wasn't just the conservative congress that pushed the patriot act as the vote was near unanimous. As for our civil rights, Natural Born Citizens have the rights of citizenship but immagrants were not guaranteed the right to citizenship.
