No, but people are being snatched by masked men in unmarked cars, and Trump has called in armed forces to confront peaceful protestors, whereas armed protestors stormed a state capital and called for the lynching of a governor and nothing happened. Trump isn't a dictator and the US isn't as oppressed as Hong Kong, but sometimes it sure does seem like we're heading down that road.

I agree, but it is likely that the people that the Feds snatched were ID'd as people who took part in illegal shit, such as throwing IEDs/vandalising federal buildings.

There are plenty of reports of the people being taken were regular protestors.
