U.S. — With the fall of the Ayatollah regime appearing to be imminent, prominent Democrats expressed fear that the dangerous Iranian desire for freedom could potentially spread to the United States.
Leaders of the Democratic Party stressed that the desire to be free from oppression could pose a serious threat to the American way of life and urged everyone to ignore what has been happening in Iran to prevent it from happening here.
"This type of thinking is contagious," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "I wept when I turned on the news and saw what was happening in Tehran. It's frightening. I'm afraid of something similar happening here in our country. This desire for freedom and liberty could really destroy everything the Democratic Party has worked so hard for so long to build in America."
If the movement continues to spread unchecked, Democrats said, it could make it more difficult to maintain the oppressive hold the federal government has on the American people. "If the Ayatollah can be overthrown, there's no telling what could happen to us," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "Watching the Iranian people protesting to be free is a sobering lesson that we all must learn to keep it from spreading like a virus. Today, it's Tehran. Tomorrow, it could be New York, Philadelphia, or Chicago. We have to avoid this desire for freedom and keep it from taking hold in the U.S."
At publishing time, Democrats had reportedly called a closed-door meeting to address the danger of Americans rising up to stage a revolution to win their freedom.

VERY close to the truth.
Yep, The Bee is extraordinary today.
The satire isn’t as amusing anymore because it has become less ridiculous than the way the Democrats are actually behaving.
The Democrats are all about control. They immediately react to anything or anyone that threatens their power.
The Bee. Did to me again. It really was actually believable. Anything stupid and the libtards are for it.
Democrats are all in on protecting wacko who attack ICE officers but not so much for the millions in Iran begging for their freedom!

That was eleven days ago. The first reaction was six months ago that resulted in this Katie Hopkins in Belfast report.
Sadly truth in this satire
I noticed that, too!
The 95% Shiite country of Iran loves Allah.
And there is no reason that should be denied them, unless freedom of religion is now to be denied.
It’s not satire if it’s triue.
I suspect it’s not satire, ... it’s Ridicule.
I honestly thought this was a real story or at least a real opinion piece because it made way too much sense.
That's what The Bee gets for making sense.
Exactly true.
Agree!
too damned close to the truth, alas
thanks for this
Welcome!
Persians, Kurds, Baloch, Bakhtyārī, Lurs, Armenians, Assyrians, Jews, Brahuis, and others make up a very diverse Iran ethnically. Religiously Shiite and Bhai dominate with Sunni, various types of Jews and others also prominent.
Not all Iranians are the same.
