Nice that Iran is helping out the whole world. I just hope they don't hurt random American citizens who had no choice in this whole situation.

Edit: I think people forget that a lot of those random Americans are people who voted against Trump, or children who have no say. It would be awful if they decided to bomb random ass cities because of Trump.

Now, something that I think would be beneficial is inconveniencing the american people so that they get pissed at Trump and, in turn, push for change.

Well, there's a full third who had a choice and refused to do anything. And another third who openly endorsed this.

We've got at least two options for blame when it comes to the last election:

  • Politicians who wield actual power and use it to do nothing (at best)
  • Voters, largely struggling to survive, wielding little power, even in aggregate, due to a rigged system

I live for the day people blame the former instead of the latter, though I know I'll never see it.
