Than0ks for this ray of hope.
Good thing is msm is the dinosaur and a LOT of people are seeing the stuff on social media.
I don’t think one nephew or niece (ages 23 to 31) gets their news from msm outlets.
Globally the news is reporting on "protests" in America.
The protesters in America are 8 shades of Communist groups (C-ANSWER, Socialist Democrats, Workers World Party, etc.)
NO media reports are IDing the protesters as naked Communists.
Here are some screencaps:
"Defend Iran"
An anti-Israel poster:
An immigrant workers group?
It reminded me so much of this pic from a few years ago:
Here in SoCal, KTLA would run a feed of local Persians celebrating the death of General Salami and then switch over to a protest group consisting mostly of the usual orange man bad crowd.
This should all go in Trump campaign ads.

History has shown that Islam makes its greatest advances and solidifies its rule when it has a charismatic, competent, believing, aggressive military leader. Persia itself was conquered and force converted by Arab invaders. The mullahs had their man in Soleimani. His actions solidified their rule. Eventually the theocracy in Iran will end. Its end will not come by force of arms. The internet and social media undermines the coercive , medieval mullah rule. People in Iran and elsewhere know there is a better way to live. The death of Soleimani brings the day of liberation for the people of Iran closer.
That was then, this is now.

The regime is using Trump’s statements about attacking cultural sights in order to quash the positive posts & enthusiasm for Trump, expressed just days before.
An easy way for the regime to reign in & unify the people against Trump, because although the regime doesn’t care about the antiquities, the people feel very strongly about them.
HOORAY Iranian individuals. Thanks for posting.
OK, all we can know from these reactions is that there are a large number of Iranians who hate the guts of the Mullah and his military commander, Suleimani.
But how large? Is it the MAJORITY of Iranians or a huge minority?
We don’t really know.
It’s like what is happening in Iraq. We know that the Shiites in their parliament hate our guts and just voted to expel us. But this was done WITHOUT the cooperation of the Sunnis and the Kurds.
Are we loved or hated in Iraq or Iran?
Hard to tell. Not even with these tweets.
