But most sane journalists in the west know how dangerous it is when they become targets. It really sucks right now even over here. We literally have had our journalists assaulted because of the words of the orange asshole. I am afraid in this country that if more politicians see Trump's dangerous rhetoric as a winning formula, our checks on power will collapse long term.
I just saw a very scary video of Steve Bannon answering questions to a crowd, and one lady basically said she wanted Trump to be a dictator and the crowd cheered.
It has to be for all of the open west, not just America, but all of the open west to stand up to this dangerous rhetoric. But trust us Atlass, the sane over here are doing our best to get him out of office, and put someone in that can actually lead instead of sucking up to tyrants.
A person who says or transfers the truth is always targeted, it's more of a "must" with a journalist's kind of job.
Populism threatens the modern way of life in the liberal west; populists -like white supremacists and Trump- want the medieval populous world to come back -and we saw the evidence in the writings the shooter of NZ had on his rifles- .
I hope the other side in the west -that doesn't want the medieval times to come back- to stand firm in front of this populous charge; giving an iron fist to the Right and its destructive ideas.
Keep fighting Trump and his likes; Brian. Fighting him and resisting his ideas is destroying terrorism in its place.
Nothing is more fatal to terrorism than what NZ did after the massacre. A truly civilized response that deserves every drop of respect. I wish the same happens in the U.S.
And I want to see the faces of ISIS enthusiasts after the response of NZ to this massacre.
Trump and his likes are the first manufacturers of terrorism. he and his friends like MBS..
Well unfortunately you can look at world history worldwide, and see the fear of any gatekeeper majority reacting to a challenge in social norms.
Humans do not like their social norms challenged. Our right wing assholes fear change just like your right wing assholes.
