One of the very few tech companies who have refused to bend the knee to the United States' current dictatorial government.

I should think that it was very obvious that America does not have a dictatorial government; this is hyperbole.

Does threatening to prosecute office supply store workers unless they print certain flyers count as the behavior of a dictator? That doesn't sound like the behavior of a government respecting the First Amendment.

I think it would count as a (very) small element of that.

Any single element of dictatorial rule is dictatorial rule. There is no space for any amount of that bullshit, regardless of how inane seeming it is.

A) Boundary testing. Small bites end up being large portions after enough are taken.

That is a plainly absurd standard for deciding what is dictatorial rule.

You're being plainly absurd by splitting hairs over a dangerous destruction of the rule of law, complete breakdown of checks and balances, and an executive that is behaving like it is both above the law, and will never lose power.
