My idea is I'd like to learn more about *tangible* examples of Bukele using extraordinary powers to silence/control. In the US, we saw such examples very clearly during the pandemic and documented in the Twitter files later. We see them clearly happening now in the UK and EU. In US during pandemic and UK+EU now are all without "dictatorship" and instead systematic power structures and anti-misinformation and hate policies.

What you mean with tangible examples? When police and military need not court order to intrud your privacy. This alone makes critical reporting against police, military or the regime unlikely up to impossible without getting enprisoned. And with all the false positives, police can easily hide such cases behind false positives. For me the tangible evidence of dictatorship seems to be that his regime did not come back to warrant based search. And when politicians can assume to not be save opposing this martial law openly, then one can not reasonable expect the parlament to act as a guardian over the president.
