How is exposing Trump's lies and stupidity "tyranny"?

One way to avoid a nightmare of global political totalitarianism is for government officials to work against totalitarian dictators. I find it ironic that you think unquestioning sycophants are the best defense against totalitarianism.

The first amendment only protects people from the government punishing them for what they say.Jones is free to start his own private business with his own servers that people can access. No one is stopping him.

Only one point of view is allowed, though it's not yet total, only about 99% total so it can still be rationalized away. That's tyranny.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

The cleverness is astonishing.

How so? Anybody with any point of view is allowed to expose Trump's stupidity and lies. Including people who work for him.

Do you really think that blind obedience to a political leader is the best way to avoid totalitarianism?

No one is stopping people from voicing their opinions. What you need to remember is if you use someone else's platforms to get your message out then you are beholden to the people who own that platform. If you don't like their rules then create your own platform. It isn't that hard to figure out.Do you really think you have the right to tell companies which videos they have to play?

It's funny how simply getting a word in edgewise has become nearly impossible in this time of a blanketing of all the media with anti-Trump messages, and an anonymous "resister" is applauded, all in an obvious attempt at a coup engineered by a bunch of a conspirators out of view who have power with the media, and of course it's the drowned-out voices that are accused of promoting blind obedience? This is so clever I'm in awe.

Has it ever crossed your mind that there is all this criticism of Trump because he is a bad president?

Gosh NO!. Golly what a revelation. The point is half the country voted for the man and still support him and we NEVER hear from THEM on the in-your-face media. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

But not even half the voters that actually voted in 2016 voted for him.see 2016 United States presidential election - Wikipedia for the details.Summary:

Trump         Clinton
Popular vote 	62,984,828 	65,853,514
Percentage 	    46.1% 	    48.2%

           eligible                  turnout                       percent
2016 	250,056,000 (estimated)   138,847,000 (estimated)    55.5% (estimated)

So 62,984,828 / 250,056,00 is about 25.19% of the eligible voters, not close to "half" as you claimed.

Apparently you don't watch "all the media" because one whole network does nothing but lie about how wonderful Trump is and most of the other networks show Trump at all of his rallies and whenever he speaks publicly. He has no trouble getting all his words in edgewise. Most of his words are whining about how everyone is mean and unfair to him, boo hoo. Maybe you should watch some news. Can you quote someone applauding the anonymous resistor?What I have seen is criticism from the right and the left, obviously for different reasons. The right hates any one of Trump's "best people" revealing the truth about the con man in the Whitehouse. The left hates that this asshole is complicit with the treason and corruption of Trump and his criminal mob.Have you noticed how many of the "best, wonderful, special people" appointed by Trump that have quit or been fired? More than any other administration in history. Trump is really terrible at judging character and almost everyone he has appointed is incompetent and corrupt.Aren't you at all surprised that Trump knows this many people who have shady connections to Russia? With the former head of the KGB?

True, I usually don't go out of my way to watch any news source these days, I'm talking about the "in-your-face" media reports that I have no way of avoiding, They are there every time I open Yahoo to check my email, or if I happen on a network news program, not by trying I assure you, there they are with their nonstop Trump bashing.

Funny enough, that's pretty much what I think...every time I read what Trump and his spokespersons are saying right now.
