These regimes will become increasingly authoritarian as the problems with their policies become more and more obvious.
That's why the 1st amendment is so important in USA, and the second to protect the first. There is no 1st or 2d amendment anywhere in Europe.
But yes, these regimes keep on doing the exact same failed policies and don't you dare say something against it or you go to jail.
I guarantee if the speech police started going door to door in the US people would just let them.
Some won't though, and that scares them just enough to keep them at bay.
After those "right wing extremists" get blown up with drones and the panicking sheep demand further authoritarianism from Washington, then what?
The Second Amendment defends the First.
At least people are stubborn about letting the government take them away.
