saying things in Russia punishable by arrest....
And professors at liberal universities are free to analyze politics and say that Trump has done a lot of things that have been beneficial in his opinion.
And small groups can gather to cheer Trump on without fear of being attacked,gassed and beaten while police look on with folded arms.
And Ivanka can have clothes sold in major stores without mob pressure to strip them out of stock due to her father’s beliefs.
And we can all be complacent and relaxed. Maybe.
Those situations are still not comparable to the State repression present in China, Russia, Muslim countries et al. At the end of the day, Trump wins due to Twitter and his opportunities to counter the media establishment. FreeRepublic.com is a thriving website. American culture of free speech and exchange of information still carries the day. And even getting to type on this website without restraint is proof of that reality.
