Personal freedoms aren't all-encompassing. One of the best lessons you can take away from America's free market is that a laissez-faire government would destroy everything we take for granted today. Without base regulation, how would the United States protect it's markets from blatantly evident abuse? Without rudimentary law, how do you ensure someone's personal freedoms aren't being encroached by another person?

This is always how it ends up. The point is that your complaints are almost parallel to the outraged liberals that demand sweeping social justice in response to minor political slights. Unless you're willing to adopt a holistic view of democracy then you're bound to be disappointed when change doesn't revolve around your personal demands. In the words of Republicans from a decade ago, sorry snowflake.
