American left must know that the Iranian Regime they are support have itself lost support among Middle East’s civilian population

American leftists don't care about that - the Iranian regime is opposed to the US, therefore American leftists support the Iranian regime.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. The title is based on a false premise. Why would the American left care about the Iranian peoples opinion. They still lionize Che Guevara, a guy hated and killed by villagers.

The Iranian people want freedom from the mullahs. Democrats love government control and hate freedom. It’s only natural that they would side with the dictators.
