That's because we're not seeing _actual_ tyranny. Maybe a would-be tyrant, tryannical tendencies or a slide toward tyranny, however you might want to phrase it, but it's not tyranny.

Individual broadcasters are also the largest detractors along with supporters.

This looks a lot like tyranny to me. Small scale and many may feel its justified but ICE appears to be acting repeatedly in defiance of lawful orders here.

When is it tyranny? When he send the military into 19 states under federal control? Or does it have to be when he’s actually ordering the killings of his opponents?

Exactly, we’re being downvoted by fans of tyrants.
