There is now an absolute fountain of criticism of the current administration, the USA itself, and the entire West coming from every demographic in the USA. This isn't a new thing or restricted to Trump. I don't see any mass arrests, chilling of media, or official propaganda making the rounds.

You are not looking. Law firms are targeted and silenced. Media is subservient. People absolutely do watch what they say for a large number of reasons.

The type of speech being policed is different, but it's absolutely happening.

You're right and I don't like it one bit, but there was also a long list of true things that we weren't allowed to say aloud under the previous lot.

Great, glad we agree. I didn't like the precious lot one bit either. Glad they're gone.
