A vast protest movement of demonstrations all over Iran is shaking that theocratic and despotic regime led by Ayatolla Khmenei to its core. Now in their sixth week, the demonstrators, including many women, are protesting the death of 22-year-old Masha Amini for allegedly violating the strict dress code imposed on women, wearing a scarf in a way that displeased the religious police, who beat her to death.

Because they admire dictators.
There is no moral authority to make it viable. In the case of current Democrats, maybe they would see the hypocrisy as they plan even more civil/human rights violations domestically (or fear being held to a standard when they're thrown out).
Beczuse liberals here are engaged in human rights violations themselves (ie Jan 6 political prisoners denied rights)
They don’t want to foul up Biden’s efforts to provide them with a nuclear weapon if they are kind enough to agree to accept pallets of cash from the US government to suppress the insurrection against them. Biden sure knows how to negotiate.
