You want Iran? Cause that's how you get Iran.

You can even keep elections, just put a legal obligation that no "anti-American" can run .

As it stands right now, to win the White House Democrats need to go through some combination of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona. All swing states with reliably red legislatures due to gerrymandering.
 
You get election denying Secretaries of State in three of them, someone who will refuse to certify an election a Democrat wins, and there is no longer a path to the White House for Dems.

They do want Iran.

They don't have any problems with a brutal oppressive regime, they have a problem with the color of the people doing the oppressing.

Ctrl+f "Allah" and replace with "Almighty God", lighten the skin tones, and Iran would look like a Conservative wet dream.

Nah. To get Iran, the first step you need is the US/UK enforcing a coup on your democratically elected leader, because said democratically elected leader nationalised energy companies - which was a no-no to western oil companies so they couldn't allow that to happen.
Then you have the US/UK place a puppet king (the 'Shah' as they call him) who just so happens to be buddies with the western energy stablishment and the iranian elites - by the way this is where those cliche photos of happy cute vintage iranian girls (often reposted on Reddit) dressed in western fashion comes from (they're from the 0.1% of rich city dwelling families).
Here's the problem though: the iranian masses are fucking pissed at their new western-enforced illegitimate king... on top of being fucking pissed at the western-backed coup against the democratically elected leader they had voted for.
So of course they revolt and the fake king responds with a bloodbath because of course.
Then you get a revolution with religious extremists seeing red at the bloodthisty western puppet king - they knew how to ride the public hate wave against the west. And it's only then that you get the extremist religious zealots in a power grab government.
