      He is 100%. The difference is that Trump rules the US, not Iran. For Iranians, anything that can realistically help them get rid of their oppressors is a glimmer of hope that cling on to even if the odds aren’t that great.

        Honestly, I used to not understand that mindset. But living in the US now, I’m starting to feel that desperation. Literally anything that would knock that clown off his stool would be worth it, even a deal with the devil himself.

        Fuck, this sucks so much.

          For the record, I don’t support the US installing a new regime. I want the Iranian people take their country back for themselves, not be under new management. I just think that with how ruthless and evil this regime is willing to be, it’s simply not possible for the people to overthrow it by themselves.
