    It’s amazing how much the Iranian regime has in common with the current US regime and MAGA.

      Are we forgetting how they violently break up mass protests against their far right radical theocracy? The Iranian regime is just a different flavor of fascism.

      I don’t think the GOP can ever get over it’s hate if Muslims, but if they do, I’m pretty sure they would perfectly align with Iran.

      They have a lot of common enemies, that is, minorities to fight.

      Both want to destroy US and it’s global influence. Trump has done that faster than any psyops or military force ever could, if you exclude nuclear Armageddon.

      Yes, indeed. It cannot be emphasized enough that the term “fundamentalism” historically referred specifically to a movement within American Protestantism that held the view that the Bible is the direct word of God, free from error and flaw.

      However, at the latest after September 11, the term came to be applied primarily to Muslim religious fanatics, thereby unfortunately pushing the danger posed by fanatics from other religious communities into the background.

      Now that U.S. fundamentalists are so openly spreading their inhuman terror throughout the world, it is once again becoming clear what unscrupulous monsters they are.
