Karens for Khamenei

How Trump Derangement turned feminist icons into mullah defenders.

For decades, the American Left’s loudest voices on women’s issues styled themselves as fearless guardians of peace and equality. They chained themselves to fences at nuclear bases, waved “No Nukes” signs during the Reagan years, and lectured the rest of us about the patriarchy while demanding the Equal Rights Amendment and unfettered abortion. Jane Fonda, the original celebrity activist, was at the forefront—Vietnam-era traitor turned fitness-video feminist turned Trump-hating scold. These women claimed moral high ground on nuclear proliferation and women’s rights.

Then Donald Trump happened.

The moment Trump descended the golden escalator in 2015, something snapped. Suddenly, the same women who once warned that Ronald Reagan’s defense buildup would end civilization found themselves marching in pink hats, screaming about “p---- grabs,” and declaring the 45th president a greater threat than any foreign dictator. Their feminism didn’t evolve; it mutated into a cult of anti-Trumpism so total that it now requires them to defend the indefensible.

Fast-forward to today. Israel and the United States have finally done what sane people have long demanded: crippled Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Precision strikes have turned enrichment facilities into smoking craters, setting back the ayatollahs’ apocalyptic bomb by years. Any rational feminist should be cheering. Iran’s regime is the planet’s leading sponsor of terror, executes women for “improper hijab,” and has openly vowed to wipe Israel off the map. Destroying its nuclear capability should be a victory for every woman who values her own skin.

Instead, the former nuclear freeze crowd is in the streets protesting the destruction of the Iranian nuclear program. Leading the charge? Jane Fonda herself.

Welcome to the age of the Karens for Khamenei.

I am sick of it.

At the root of all of this is Iran and their ideology.

These are the people responsible for us having to stand in endless lines at airports, making us disrobe, empty our pockets, have to take our shoes off, allowed ourselves to be surveilled, all for our “protection”.

Screw them.

I say we arm up, all of us, from the entire military down to citizens allowed to carry weapons, and we defend ourselves from going overseas and taking them out, to protecting ourselves from Iran-inspired terrorists who want to blow us up in supermarkets, run us over with their cars, hack us with machetes on the streets, or whatever else their perverted, deranged brains come up with.

I am sick of it.

We may pay the price. Many Americans may get injured, maimed, or killed in the years ahead due to their terrorism. I say we proceed on their terms, both from a military perspective anywhere in the world, or from our own personal use of defensive weapons as citizens in our own country.

I am ready to do what is needed, and if it gets bad enough, eventually many Americans will as well. That is my hope at least.

America can lead the way at treating terrorists in the 21st Century as pirates were treated in the 18th Century. We can begin by treating them mercilessly as vermin in our own homeland and hope it spreads to the rest of the world, as the British Empire did with Piracy and Slavery.

“Karens just looking for any reason to scold.”

That’s part of it, for sure. But I think it is far more complicated for a lot of them. I think they unconsciously crave the sort of treatment the mullahs prescribe for women. How else could they see this reality and persist in defending the mullahs? If they don’t crave it, why don’t they explain themselves?

“The selling point was that it made women formless and non-sexual”

The main reason Karens and AWFULS go for this crap is they are ugly and no man wants them, so they are jealous.

If you can force yourself to watch 10 minutes of MS Now without going insane, you’ll begin to understand how this can happen. Trump is portrayed as an evil demon who would rape a woman if he was left alone in a room with her. Who laughs when he imagines evicting poor people from their homes. And when they talk about any foreign dictator, they whitewash them with a veneer of respectability as if they are talking about any elected foreign leader. The Ayatollah Khamenei (the dead one or the new one) is portrayed as the official elected leader of his country who is bravely standing up against US imperialism. Which is made all the worse with Trump in charge. Low IQ Karens believe it all.

Your analysis is quite good. Also parallels the truism:
“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled”

I don’t know much about what women think any more, but I thought much was known about Ayatollah Khomeini & none of it good, by either gender. Maybe I was wrong. When my wife was alive, I’m not sure she knew who the guy was, but can’t say for sure. I sure recognized the name & by his reputation.

This includes Rand Paul and Thomas Massie who are voting to end the war.

The ONLY reason anyone would oppose getting rid of this horrific Islamic regime’ atop the Persian populace is so that they could push their hatred of Jews.

No, not objection to “forever wars”. Not WW3. Not “inferring in foreign gov’mts”. Not anit-Zionism.

The only exception is the loons in TDS. All of the rest of the objections are nothing more than Jew hatred. A chance to get rid of Jews. At their heart the folks of whatever political stripe only care about killing Jews.

Just like hamas.
