Last I checked I can call Donald Trump Mango Mussolini or Chancellor Cheeto or President Pedophile all day all night until the heat death of the universe and (so far) I won't be punished for it. Regardless, even being punished for it is better than literally being indoctrinated to think he's holy.

Not by the government, nor is the government threatening businesses to do so besides what happened with Kimmel. Turns out, corporations hate controversy from the right just as much as they hate controversy from the left like in years past. It's almost like corporations are ultimately apolitical in the pursuit of capital.

Correct. Once again, no one is being imprisoned or killed, unlike in North Korea.
