Not Eastern Europe, but the socialist countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Etc. I feel like they are trying to turn us into Europe by taking away freedoms and pushing their liberal/socialist views on us.
Pushing views ... yeah, that's called political activism. If your political sway is not as strong as theirs, it should fall. If your views are worthy, push back with em.

You are painting with a mighty wide brush Perhaps some examples of this liberal/socialist direction you seem to think America is heading for and what freedoms do you think we are being denied?

The US is already socialist, with socialist roads, socialist medicare, socialist social security, socialist public schools, socialist military etc
Countries like Germany, Scandinavia, Switzerland are doing just fine. High standard of living, high employment rates, people dont have the freedom to go bankrupt from cancer treatment, workers are entitled to at least 5 weeks of paid vacation to improve health and family connections, all workers are allowed paid time off to say goodbye to a dying parent, there is no for-profit prison industry and public money is invested in its people instead of corporate welfare, a massive prison system and a military industrial complex.
The American people are social democratic in nature, according to polls. The political views of Americans are much more in line with social democracies in Europe than the policies that are pushed by politicians in DC. A more progressive economic agenda in America is an America more in line with what Americans want according to opinion polls. An America more reflective of public opinion and thus a more democratic America in other words.
