Is it as bad as we hear in the UK? People being arrested for saying anything that doesn't reflect government pronouncements?

I would say it's more a heavy handed approach and using propaganda ("the last government was so terrible, we're left with these problems) to justify a particular, also heavy-handed, agenda.
I was skeptical before the election and I feel my analysis was right.
or maybe what you're hearing is right
Same thing happening here then. We're not being arrested yet, though.
Even though Dems have been in higher office, looking at both the white house and congress, for nearly all of the past 16 years, anyone espousing conservative views is blamed for everything, censored, ridiculed, hated and feared. It's really crazy here! Can't have a discussion with anyone who does not agree with you 100% without doors being slammed. I don't know how to fix this, other than to be very true to ourselves. Hard to do! Or is it becoming easier? I am being very careful, but still honest.
