It’s not quite the “fell for it again” award. It’s the “duped because I’m ignorant about history” award. Even if you are against Khamenei and the cleric class of leaders, the Americans are not, and never will be, your friends.

I mean... My dad who passed and his brother who is very much alive moved tot the US from Iran in 1968 and served in Vietnam in the Engineering corps and lived through American interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan. My Mom's family are Iraqi lol

So they’re from the “America is the land of milk and honey, where there is endless opportunity, and dreams can come true” generation of migrants.

My own family is the same, but the illusion has been shattered for them over the last several years.

I’d be curious of any diaspora differences. How would a Swedish Irani expat’s opinions differ from an Irani from Teh-ronto or Tehr-angeles?

Give it a couple of years and they will hate him as much as most other people do.

Edit: I saw this video mentioned in the press on February 28th, but I'm intrigued by the reference to them being ex-Muslims.
