There can be no dissent against the state - period
Maintain a perspective of reason and thoughtfulness, Anne. Of course, there is dissent. The USA is not a tyranny. Of course it isn't always easy to make your voice heard, but an active opposition exists and speech is free speech, no matter how much the current party in power says "Pipe down".

No heads roll under the executioner's sword, no shots to the base of the skull. No newspaper shut down, no government endorsed burning of subversive literature.

Of course there is dissent against the state.

And much to dissent about. That how democracy works.
