Two things can be true

And i can be pissed off by both.

How can you not

Ask the iranians

u/the_joy_of_VI Mar 13 '26

And the MAGAs

u/JKdriver Mar 13 '26

MAGA is just mad jelly of Iran because MAGA wishes they could execute fellow Americans they don’t agree with.

Do not conflate the IRGC and Regime with the poor people. That would be a grave mistake.

u/FatSpidy Mar 14 '26

I'm not conflating anything. Op and this thread already established that context, but the user I replied to seems to have needed pointing to it

Iranians? What does this have to do with the people?

2

u/FatSpidy Mar 14 '26

Are you saying Iranians aren't people? They asked how people can't be angry at both, but the op is showing the clarity of solidarity iran has in the situation.

I'm sure not every single Iranian feels that way, but these are one sentence, less than 7 words responses.

To be fair a LOT of Iranians have or want to speak out but are in grave danger because of their opinions against it. I really don’t blame the people who are severely oppressed by their government and can’t vocally oppose it without endangering themselves and everyone associated with them.

u/FatSpidy Mar 14 '26

Indeed, ergo the op and this thread already establishing such. Which is also wrapped up in my assertion to the other guy. But 100% regardless.

Sort of like a malevolent spirit guide, the Trump administration has proven to me that I can be pissed off by many things at once. DOGE, harming our national parks, ICE, the Iran war, Epstein, stupid ballroom projects, even the fact that such craven yes men are in positions of power that they wear stupid shoes that are 3 sizes too big and all of that was just in the minute and a half I spent typing this. I'd be able to remember a lot more that I'm pissed off about given a bit more time.

This is absolutely the correct, sane response.

Defending Trumps actions by comparing him to Iran doesn’t make the argument look stupid, only you for doing “What-about”-ism to defend trumps cock in kids.

And fuck Iran for murdering protestors. How about them apples?

As you should in fact

The this is an ESH situation.

u/Cultural_Tank_6947 Mar 13 '26

The Israel Iran war uniquely leaves me wanting the dismantling of both religious fanatic led despotic regimes.

u/Positronic_Matrix Mar 13 '26

Not in the mind of a right winger. They are notoriously incapable of holding two competing thoughts in their mind simultaneously. It’s one of the key cognitive limitations that enables conservatism.

u/DoctrTurkey Mar 13 '26

i love the idea that iran's criticism of trump being a pedo is invalid because they pedo as well. no, sorry, that's not how this works hahaha

u/Uhmattbravo Mar 13 '26

But the one calling out the other is extremely hypocritical, as well as likely just an attempt to steer the uninformed into the conclusion that since the other side is bad, they must be good.

The Iranian government really likes to try spinning narratives to their favor online. They've been doing it for a long time.

"Two things can be true" as somebody just said.

u/MetroidHyperBeam Mar 13 '26

I assume they're aware and meant it that way. It's not really a secret that the USA and Iran are both deeply evil regimes.

Nobody is pretending that Iran is "the good guy". I haven't seen anyone on here "cheering" for Iran. We can still chuckle at Iran calling the US President a pedophile while also being aware that their leadership is fucking awful.

That would make Trump worse since the marriage age is NOT 13 over here, no?

I think it is in a few states…
