The Left loves to lecture Americans about “empathy” for foreign cultures – as if Americans are supposed to bow their heads in shame every time another crazed dictator falls. But what are those same “peaceful” voices in Iran doing right now? They’re marching by the millions in the streets of Tehran, screaming for the death of Donald Trump and any American leader who stands up to their tyranny. Let’s not kid ourselves. This wasn’t a somber goodbye to a so-called “Supreme Leader.” This was a full-blown hate fest fueled by rage against the United States and Israel.
Posters demanded Trump be killed. There were crosshairs drawn over other patriotic American leaders. Even Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and conservative influencers were plastered on signs with blood-red warnings. The mob, dressed in black, beat a billboard showing Trump with a gun pointed at his head, blaming Americans for “killing their father.” It was a sea of hatred—more proof that no amount of Western appeasement will ever satisfy these hardliners.
Liberals insist we need to “understand” where this venom comes from. Are they serious? The same Iranian regime that butchers its own citizens for speaking out is now whipping its base into a frenzy, demanding revenge against America because we refused to let a brutal dictator threaten the world any longer. Let’s not forget: their government held up this funeral for months because their war-mongering put their own cities in lockdown. Meanwhile, the regime’s loyal thugs forced workers, school kids, and overburdened citizens out in droves to fill the streets and project an image of “unity.” Fake unity, bought with cheap bribes, not passion—not real conviction.
Most Iranians didn’t even want to be at this spectacle. Many defied the regime and stayed home, or quietly complained about the state’s lies and economic disasters. Months before this funeral parade, brave Iranians were filling the streets—not to mourn Khamenei, but to scream for freedom and protest skyrocketing prices and government killings. The regime responded as all tyrannies do: with mass arrests, violence, and unspeakable cruelty. But the woke crowd in Washington wants to make nice with the mullahs and call for “diplomacy.” Give me a break.
Only about a fifth of Iranians actually back these radical hardliners. The rest are hostages in their own country. But every time we show backbone, the Left moans about “escalation” and “human rights”—yet they’re nowhere to be found when Americans and our allies are literally hunted by these fanatics. Does anyone really believe more “talks” or another weak-kneed ceasefire will make the world safer? Americans know better. The only language these theocrats respect is strength. So why does the D.C. elite keep pretending otherwise? How many times must we see this before we finally start standing up for our own country, unapologetically?
