The Reason the Democrats – and Only the Democrats – Side with Iran

TLDR

As soon as you called me a liar and said Trump is telling the truth, I scrolled on past.

You’re an idiot and there is no point wasting time on your lies.
You're the idiot. A leftist fraud who doesn't give one whit about facts.
Just keep living in your stupid fantasy land. It will all come crashing down around you one of these days when you realize I was right.
 
It’s not the Democrats who changed. It was YOU.
That's very possible.....as people age, they are suppose to mature, and gain wisdom....Dembots don't do that. As Columbia University found during a study, people that ID as dem, have major mental health issues, because they have mindset of a teen.
 

ANALYSIS:​

The Reason the Democrats – and Only the Democrats – Side with Iran​

14 Mar 2026 ~~ By Joe Hoft

This online article by Mike Bski is a masterpiece.
I think I finally got it figured out. The reason Democrats — and only Democrats — side with Iran.
Not “only American politicians.” I mean globally. Every. Single. Country on the planet. Left-wing governments, right-wing governments, center governments — every democratic nation on earth looked at Iran during Operation Epic Fury and said no. RUSSIA stepped back. Russia, who propped Iran up geopolitically for decades, found a line they would not cross.
Democrats stepped forward.
That is not a foreign policy miscalculation. That is not “nuance.” That is not some galaxy-brained geopolitical chess move by people whose foreign policy credentials I have watched evaporate in real time. No. I spent a long time trying to figure out what possible logical framework explains it, and I landed on the only answer that fits everything.
ENVY.
They are jealous. Genuinely, deeply, embarrassingly jealous of what Iran built. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it — and I am about to make sure you cannot un-see it either.
…..
You back? Good.
Women in miniskirts on Tehrani streets. Packed nightclubs. University campuses full of men AND women studying side by side. Tehran looked like Paris. A thriving, cosmopolitan, Westernized republic with a growing middle class and real civil liberties, and people who were — imagine this — actually free. Iran was not always what it is today. It used to be something the Left would have CELEBRATED.
One revolutionary movement. That is all it took. The free press — gone. Independent courts — gone. Political opposition — imprisoned, executed, or exiled. Religion captured and repackaged as a control mechanism. The entire population engineered to need the government for food, for fuel, for work, for survival. Dissent became economically catastrophic. Socially suicidal. Sometimes literally fatal.
They took a free country. Built a cage around every living person in it. And called it a revolution.
Then 1979 happened.
The American Left watches that and does not see a horror story.
They see a blueprint.
— THE PLAYBOOK, PIECE BY PIECE —
Let me walk through exactly what Iran built and exactly what the American Left is trying to reconstruct here. Not as a rhetorical exercise. As a factual checklist.
TAKE THE GUNS FIRST
After 1979, Iran moved quickly. Deliberately. Systematically. Civilian firearm ownership was restricted, then effectively eliminated for ordinary citizens outside of regime-approved contexts. Today Iran has roughly 7 firearms per 100 civilians. The government does not view an unarmed population as a safety measure. They view it as a PREREQUISITE for everything else on this list. Because it is.
Venezuela. Hugo Chavez passed Venezuela’s gun ban in 2012. Disarmament was framed as a public safety measure, because it is always framed as a public safety measure. In the years that followed, Venezuela’s homicide rate did not drop — it climbed to among the highest on earth. The guns did not disappear. They just moved from law-abiding citizens to regime loyalists and criminal networks the regime found useful. The people who could have resisted were left with nothing.
~Snip~
In 1963, Congressman A.S. Herlong Jr. read 45 Communist Goals into the Congressional Record. Goal #20: infiltrate the press. Goal #21: gain control of radio, television, and motion pictures.
Iran did not infiltrate anything. They seized it by force in 1979 and have run state media ever since — Press TV, Fars News, Tasnim — propaganda infrastructure that produces whatever narrative the regime needs and never, ever issues corrections because corrections are not the point.
The American Left could not take the press by force. So they did something arguably more efficient. They captured the institutions that produce the people who run it. Journalism schools that openly abandoned the concept of balanced reporting and replaced it with advocacy framing. Hollywood donor records that run 99.7% Democratic. Social media content moderation boards staffed entirely by ideological allies who make decisions about what is and is not “misinformation” and who somehow always seem to reach the same partisan conclusions. They did not need guns. They had tenure committees and graduate programs and platform enforcement policies.
~Snip~
— THE VOTE —
March 5th, 2026. H.Res.1099. Non-binding. Zero dollars. No military authority. One sentence, essentially: Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — a fact the State Department has documented since Ronald Reagan was in office.
372 to 53.
Every single Nay vote: Democrat.
One hundred fifty-seven Democrats voted yes — I will give them that. But 53 members of the United States Congress looked at that piece of paper and voted to protect Iran’s reputation. On the same day Operation Epic Fury had our service members taking fire in the Middle East.
No nation on earth stood with Iran. Not Canada. Not Europe. Not our Asian allies. Not Russia — who finally found one line they would not cross. Fifty-three American Democrats voluntarily stepped into the void Russia walked away from.

I wrote the full breakdown here:
I am asking genuinely. Not rhetorically. If I am wrong about what this pattern reveals, someone tell me why — when the entire world stepped back — only American Democrats stepped forward.
But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who spent 23 years studying patterns, a few of them in a country where the people running this exact disinformation machine would have killed the girls I was escorting to school, for the crime of wanting an education. Maybe I am reading too much into it. Or maybe the pattern is just that obvious and I am the only one saying it out loud.


Commentary:
Great thesis by Mike Bski, although it's quite long. However, rather than read just my excerpts the reader should go to the original and full read before responding.
This article is full of truth. We are being 'governed' by true wannabe terrorists in our own Congress. We are in the 10th week of a Democrat shut down od government in a fight for our lives! People don't care enough to look at the facts this article lays out, and that is why we are slowly losing our country.
Each day that does by continues to expose the fact that Democrats are some of the sickest, corrupt and most actively evil people ever to exist. including RINOs'.
The MAIN reason the Democrats do everything for and against conservatives is to keep themselves from getting charged and convicted
Giving top secrets to China and other unfriendly countries and taking bribes and kickback from Big Corporations, Insurance companies and even foreign enemies
Stealing the 2020 elections and the attempted Coup d' etat of the 45th President of the United States
Thinking they could even go to jail for some of those things. Democrats are primarily afraid of that. Desperation to keep their own derriere in power and out of jail
"Modern day Iran" today -- Muslim women forced to wear burkas for various reasons, but the main reason is that they wear one to stay alive, a far cry from the 1950's under the Shah!
Democrat's support Iran Mullahs because they've achieved what Democrats have failed to do in America.
There are eight levels of control needed to create a socialist state:
1) Healthcare – Control healthcare to control the people.​
2) Poverty – Increase poverty level as high as possible because poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live for free.​
3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level, increasing taxes and producing more poverty.​
4) Gun control – Remove people’s ability to defend themselves and force people to become dependent on the government for their safety.
5) Welfare – Control of every aspect of people’s lives (food, housing and income).​
6) Education – Control what people watch, read and listen to and what children learn in school.​
7) Religion – Remove the belief in God from the government and schools.​
8) Class warfare – Divide the wealthy and the poor causing discontent and making it easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor.​
Islamic and Communist goals = Democrat goals.

This is an excellent report. Dems increasingly side with dictators, from meduro to the supreme leader
 
Closet homosexual Lindsey Graham decided the best way to spend time while King Donald is at war with Iran was to wander around Disney World with a Little Mermaid bubble wand.

Far right hack Matt Walsh lost his mind.

 
Far right Megyn Kelly is bleeding from her wherever over King Donald's war:

 
Don't see him siding with Iran there....I see him questioning what would come next.

Unless you 100% agree with everything Trump says, no matter how ridiculous, you're "siding" with the other side.

It's always either/or with MAGA idiots. If you think that Trump's treatment of immigrants is wrong, you're in favour of "open borders". When one poster said that "Fans Only" should not be banned, a MAGA moron suggested that poster was all in favour of his daughter appearing on the website.

Choices are never one extreme or the other. You can be opposed to banning Fans Only for any number of reasons that do not include your participation in such a forum.
You're the idiot. A leftist fraud who doesn't give one whit about facts.
Just keep living in your stupid fantasy land. It will all come crashing down around you one of these days when you realize I was right.

I care deeply about facts. Everything I posted is verifiable by the historic record, and everything you posted is "Liar, liar, pants on fire" material.

The bald fact is that Republicans have been devasting for the US economy since Eisenhauer left office. The US economy, GDP growth, the stock market, job creation, the trade deficit, and the national debt, have ALL performed better under Democrats than Republicans.

Added to which, Republican tax cuts have lead to the 3 worst economic crashes since the Great Depression (also the result of Republicans in the White House), and you are well on the way to your 4th crash.


  • Annual real GDP growth is 1.2 percentage points faster during Democratic administrations than Republican ones (3.79% versus 2.60%).
  • Total job growth has averaged 2.5% annually during Democratic administrations, while it is barely over 1% annually during Republican administrations. Applied to today’s total workforce, this would imply nearly 2.4 million more jobs created every year under Democratic administrations.
  • The Democratic advantage is even larger in private job growth than it is for total job growth. Notably, business investment is higher during Democratic administrations, with investment growth running at more than double the pace than it does during Republican ones.
  • Average rates of inflation—both overall and “core” measures that exclude volatile food and energy prices—are slightly lower during Democratic administrations.
  • Families in the bottom 20% of the income distribution experience 188% faster income growth during Democratic administrations.
“Economic performance is much stronger when Democrats hold the White House,” said Josh Bivens, EPI chief economist and author of the report. “But it is our sense that the simple facts on real-time economic performance during Democratic and Republican administrations aren’t particularly well known. These facts constitute important information people should have during this time of rampant misinformation.”




Here the report on the Trade Deficit that was $735 billion and declining when Obama left office in 2016, and before Trump started his trade wars in 2017, and was $1.23 trillion dollars last year. Trump told you last year that because of your tariffs, the trade deficits had been reduced by 70%, but he was lying. It was the highest in American history.


I can back up everything I post. You can't begin to do the same.

We're not talking about Eisenhower anymore.
We're talking about Trump and current policies. You're hopelessly out of touch with reality.
Kind of scary, actually.
You're a dedicated Communist, I'll give you that.
 
That's very possible.....as people age, they are suppose to mature, and gain wisdom....Dembots don't do that. As Columbia University found during a study, people that ID as dem, have major mental health issues, because they have mindset of a teen.
Arrested Development. They were infantalized when young and have stayed that way.

They are acting out just like children.

It’s sad your leftist mind has such a limited binary choice

With that said Kirk is dead, a dembot assassinated him long before the Iranian operation
 
I remember you murderous pricks accusing Democrats of siding with Iraq and Afghanistan just because they opposed those wars, too. You'll be calling this a "stupid" war someday as well you pieces of shit :fu:

DemoKKKrats didn't oppose the Iraq or Afghanistan wars. You people haven't opposed a war in 60 years.

You just hate Trump so much, you're cheering for the people who hang homosexuals and marry 9 year old girls. That's your mental illness.
