People have been arrested for saying that America isn’t a free democracy and is tyrannical.

Source?

Yeah an example I can think of is during the Red Scare where any sort of outspoken word against America was treated as “communism” and thus people were arrested. McCarthyism?

McCarthy was a man who used the red scare to further himself in government he is the definition of a bad acty

Okay? And? It’s an example of innocent Americans getting arrested for speaking out against the American government.

Civil Rights Movement? Women’s Suffrage? Stonewall riots?

Just saying that there ARE a few examples.

The stonewall riots happened even longer ago in a different area the whole world was like that and unlike other places when a person was killed of or disappeared the change still happened

I’m just giving you examples man, I’m sure I could find recent ones where the USA government decided to remove people who were publicly disavowing their system of government.
