Atlas, if you're one of those people speaking out against those in power despite living in Saudi Arabia with a threat to your life, you're really brave. We can criticize Trump and call him vile and whatever we like because we know that no one's going to put us behind bars for it. I wonder how many of us would still do that if SaudiArabia-like brutality was used to meet any dissent.
