Why do leftists insist on defending Iran? It is a horrible country run by horrible people. Not to mention a RIGHT-wing theocracy since the regime executed all the dumb leftist protesters once their use for them was over.

Oh come on. People are upset that there is a war AT ALL. And it’s not even the US’s business. People aren’t pushing back because they’re defending Iran, they’re pushing back because none of this is necessary. Even Trump’s own base elected him thinking he wouldn’t start a war. That backfired spectacularly on them. Literally nobody wants this shit.

Also don't even start with the "Iran doesn't have epstein island☝️🤓" nonsense. Please educate yourself on the age of consent in that place (lowest for female in entirety of continent of Asia btw)

Ohhh so this is the cope that the MAGAs have come up with. Being against dragging us into a bullshit war is not defending Iran. This war is so comically stupid and going so laughably badly- no sane person should be supporting ts. Since he's now moving us into a 'wartime economy', it seems like he did this as a last resort bail-out/his way of giving up since he fucked up the nation so badly he doesn't know what to do

It’s almost like all of this could have been avoided, if we just kept to the deal we made under Obama which required iran not to make nukes but we gave them money. Instead we have the biggest spending project (war) and this time unlike Iraq we don’t have the support of the UN or any other countries except Israel. Honestly this was a terrible idea.

1) It isn't (unless you're sucking hasan piker slop through a straw every day) 2) Trump's clown cabinet is a political fluke that isn't comparable to a self-righteous illegitimate regime that has been oppressing people for decades

All I’m gonna say is that the us shouldn’t fight for Israel , since the shah is very pro israel and Israel wants the shah back in power. If Israel wants fight with Iran whatever but no American should die for them as that money could be used other things in our country . In addition, Trump in 2016 wanted to reform the childcare system. And now he says we don’t have any money because we need to send it to war.

Also what a coincidence that days after The list came out we went to war. Also, how long has Bibi been saying that Iran has had nukes. I’m not saying that. The dictatorship is good, but I just don’t trust why we’re fighting the war.

Smh did Iraq have nukes question. No Bibi has been saying this in The 1990 that Aaron is a couple of days or weeks from a nukes. Isn’t it also illegal in that sector of Islam to have a nuke by the way?

If you seriously believe that the US government isn’t oppressive and hasn’t been corrupt since the country was founded, you need to revisit some history lessons and wake up to what’s still happening these days

Yes, THANKFULLY 🙏 now that everyone is feeling the direct consequences personally, they're turning. For a lot of those ppl, they only care about shit when they are directly and personally very obviously and negatively affected. And Trump did that shit!! There's unfortunately still some beyond-hope individuals in his camp tho. Anyone still voluntarily defending Trump is just straight up scum of the earth filth atp 😒

That might be true but after I posted this I went and scrolled X for a while, and the place is full of grifters supporting it. If these sort of people simply left the Western society (because they primarily are in it), everything would be better.

Oh, Elon’s X? The app known for being a toxic cesspool filled to the brim with bots and ragebait? The app that incentivizes people to post inflammatory things to make people interact with their posts for a paycheck? Yeah no idea why you’d see that kind of content on there. After all, scrolling Twitter has famously ALWAYS been representative of the average person’s opinion.

Okay, let’s assume that literally every single post you saw on Twitter grifting for Iran was made by a 100% real and genuine person; not a bot. Unlikely, but let’s just say that’s the case. You are still using an insane minority group to represent a whole (“leftists” as you put it in your post). I already gave you the actual reason most leftists (and conservatives!) oppose this. But here you are using X grifters to say “no, it’s because they love Iran actually”

This isn’t even getting into how X has a comparatively puny userbase compared to every other relevant social media platform. So the group you are using to represent the whole is even smaller than it appears.
