You won't get arrested and locked away indefinately for speaking your mind.
With Germany's and Austria's Nazi background there are some things you are not allowed to say, like using Nazi paroles or symbols. Not sure how the US handles that. But all in all I could call any politician an a-hole or the government incompetent and nothing would happen to me.

I don't want to go into detail, but anyone interested can find some information on freedom of speech
HERE,
HERE and
HERE.
Learn more about democracy
HERE or
HERE (german).
BTW: To live in a democracy is NOT having automatically freedom of speech (especially not "like in the US")! What's a democracy anyway?! Just free elections and the right to call a politican an a**hole? In short NO!
BTW: Look for the limitations in Germany, they're simply the same as in Austria... (censored books, movies, games...)
BTW: There are no Nazi restrictions in the US. And there will surely happen something if you call a politican an a**hole.
