    Seems like if you really cared about government stepping out of the way of growth, you wouldn't go out of your way to implement shitty social policy that alienated a notable part of the potential workforce

oh... but that's when they WANT government intervention: "Don't tell tax me too much or implement rules on how much I can take at the expense of others. But please stop the gays and the trans folks from entering my personal space. In fact, please don't let me see anything that makes me uncomfortable. But also I should be able to practice my religion in whatever way I want even if it makes YOU uncomfortable... because... Murica."
