If one was asked to name one, just one, trait most common among Iranians - in the Islamist fascist ruled Iran and those who have lived in democracies for most of their lives - perhaps it would be the splitting, the black-and-white or the all-or nothing thinking.
A quick glance at the opinions of Iranians on the net in regards to the current and former U.S. presidents is the best example for this behavior.
Iranian Trumpians and Obamites, both, see nothing but good in their champion and nothing but bad in the other. Consequently, the likeminded becomes an ally, no matter who it might be, the naysayer, the enemy.
This mindset, if you do not agree with me %100, you're no good and therefore an enemy, aside being inherently anti-democratic, it destroys any chances of arriving at a common ground, in this case, emancipation of Iran from an unreformable, expansionist and warmongering Islamist fascism.
At a time when many Iranians are craving freedom, to understand and trying to combat this prevelant divisive mentality is a must.
Airtight sanctions, a la against the despicable South Africa apartheid, works. U.S. lawmakers get to it.
"...inherently undemoctratic...." yes indeed. Since when do Iranians, or more generally, those on the Eastern Hemisphere understand democracy?
Oh, and common grounds....? There is probably no nation less united than us Iranians and hence our slow demise into nothingness. Regardless of who the US president is, this will never change (although I hope I'm wrong).
here is one thing that many of these iranian-americans living here do not understand, and that is that democracy knows no boundaries and is not a commodity. They lived in iran as bulllies, and they continue on that path over here as well. To see them making fun of others is just purely the biggest joke of all time.
Siding with either party or their nominees is nothing but a pure red-herring, It is a tradition among iranians through which they voice their "other"and non-political grievances. They could not care less who wins the election.
Iranian "Obamites" also known as "bache akhoond Eshaal-Talab NIACi " are a sub species of American Trumpites!
A Typical Iranian Obamite suffers from Low IQ (Kos mashang!). a host of mental disorders such as inferiority complex (Oghdehi!), low income due to unemployment (bi-Kar), old age (pir- sag), Low education (bi-Savad!) and low moral values (bi sharaf!)
Here is a group typical Iranain Obamites! Does anyone here recognize himself in the photo?!!!
