I had a lot of friends from Iran in college including my best friend. He once had an underground rock band in Iran and played in secret under the threat of death. Eeeeeeeesh!!!! But I have always found the tensions between the US and Iran to be very sad. Culturally my Iranian friends and Americans had a lot in common. We especially share a common sense of humor. It should be easy for our countries to get along. Too bad.
Now this country is being run by the crazy people just like Iran. I never imagined that I would witness what I am seeing here. Note how you are pretty much hated for a philosophy. That is insane! There is very good reason to hate trump. He is a dangerous thug and a dictator in the making. Trump is a dangerous despot. But they can't tell reality from fiction anymore. They worry about a philosophy... and wearing mask during a global pandemic.
