To all the stubborn right wing supporters reading this. FUCKING READ WHAT THIS MUSLIM IS SAYING! I am fucking sick of the crybaby assholes here thinking they are being oppressed when Atlass lives it EVERY FUCKING DAY! I don't want to hear shit from any of you if you think it is ok for A PRESIDENT to imply body slamming a reporter is acceptable behavior.

This isn't Trump's personal episode of WWE. Any sane person who values an open society SHOULD BE ANGRY, so yea, you want to call the left a mob, damned fucking right because I do not want America to turn into a Christian version of Saudi Arabia.

People who whine about "oppression" in the west, need to visit a Middle Eastern country. Especially extreme places like Saudi Arabia..let me explain: first of all the power is in the hands of a very very limited and small circle of individuals, with a total isolation from outside interaction with the population.

Literally, there is no way to contact "the real authority", behind walls of law-enforcement institutions, and behind the army's protection, even the intelligence agency of the country works only in the benefit of the small, powerful elite circle.

That is not like the west. Imagine yourself living in a place, that imprisons you and torture you -maybe even to death- if you write an article or even a tweet on twitter, criticizing a member of the elite circle.

Lots of the people "who thought that the news about how terrible the Middle East is" is not true, can just see what happened in the case of Jamal Kashoggi: in the Middle East it's so normal to hear about similar (and even more brutal stuff) happening to any person defying the elite circles even with an article.

That's why when somebody like Trump supports these criminals, the damage and devastation to the people of the region is immense and unspeakable.

I think the above is "oppression". Please, Right-wing enthusiasts: get over yourself and accept democracy up your ass. At least nobody resorted to bone saws yet, and that's a good thing !

THANK YOU!

What the orange turd's supporters do not understand is that his long term vilification of reporters can and will erode any open society if left unchecked. 

Cuba and Iran long ago were open societies. But they fell in large part because of attacks on press and sell of fear and propaganda and sell of blind loyalty to nationalism. 

And again, no right winger has to take my word for it. 50 former republican intel agents warned us during his run what his rhetoric could do and is doing, and not just on the issue of reporters, but on global and national stability.

There is lots of crap I can handle from any religion and lots I can handle on those whom support horrible economic policies. But if anyone values an open society they should not tolerate a President vilifying reporters.
