I have been meaning to write this post for days now, but something kept distracting me.
Oh, yeah, right. The descent of my city into total chaos.
But it needs saying: few things reveal the priorities of the left more than the fact that it is absolutely laser-focused on ensuring that rapists, pedos, and murderers remain in the United States illegally, while ignoring the fact that the Islamist Iranian regime has been murdering its own citizens at a rate that makes the Ukraine War look like a walk through...Minneapolis, I suppose.

You may have noticed the conspicuous silence of the United Nations and all the Best™ people when it comes to the mass slaughter of women and others who are trying to remove one of the most repressive and anti-woman regimes in the world.
While not Afghanistan, Iran is nearly as bad, and is actually more destructive when it comes to spreading hatred and death around the world. Iran supports Hamas and helped it plan the October 7th terrorist attack. It supports the Houthis, Hezbollah, the Venezuelan regime, Russia's war against Ukraine, and has terrorist cells throughout Europe and Latin America.

The Ayatollah has ordered the murder and rape of women for the horrific crime of refusing to wear a hijab, and they have created a massive economic crisis in the country that has left Tehran without water.
And then there are the murders.
🚨 New report by UN Watch reveals the majority of U.N. “human rights experts” have been totally silent on the Islamic Republic's violent crackdown against civilian protests.
— UN Watch (@UNWatch) January 15, 2026
Only 5 of 87 experts have issued an official statement condemning the atrocities.https://t.co/ysyCAnN0mc
Nobody on the left seems to care because the Ayatollah is not Orange. Orange Man is the center of the universe for them. All evil has its origin there. Rapists, murderers, terrorists, and the like are, compared to him, the good guys. Iran sits on the UN Human Rights Council, which chastises Israel far more than all other countries combined. The UN might murmur a bit about the mass slaughter of Christians in West Africa, but Israel must be eradicated because...Jews.
Iranian human rights activist @AlinejadMasih slams Western liberals trying to silence her:

And of course, it is not just the United Nations. Few leftist groups will say a word about human rights abuses in Iran because Iran hates the West, and the "colonialists" of the West deserve whatever they get. And if it takes a few Iranian women's deaths to keep Iran opposed to the West, clearly it is worth it.
🚨 BREAKING: Anti-Khamenei Iranians are CLASHING with pro-Hamas white liberal women in Washington

You literally can't make this crap up.
The white liberal women support ISLAMIST HAMAS
The Iranians want to OVERTHROW the Ayatollah!
Liberals are insane.pic.twitter.com/eabI6loA6c
You would think that, of all the ideologies in the universe, liberals could unite in opposition to Islamism. But you would be wrong. Radical leftism is not driven by a vision of the good or of human rights; it is a purely negative phenomenon built out of hatred for Western values.
Liberals are thrilled by the calls for justice and human rights, but don't seem to notice that the actual passion is behind destruction and violence. It's not that leftists hide their intentions. They are quite open about them.
For 22 days, the UN’s top human rights body has stood silent as Iran’s Islamic regime unleashed a brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters, resulting in thousands of deaths, arbitrary arrests, and widespread torture. /2

It's just that liberals only seem to hear what they want to, and share the belief that Orange Man is bad, so those opposing him must be good.
I find it insane that Barack Obama has not expressed a word of support for the people of Iran.

In one way, you could argue that Trump plays into this latter tendency. He is obsessed with trolling the left, and he gets the response that he wants. But he doesn't seem to get that there are a lot of people whose main objection to him is his style and temperament, and that their sympathy for the left is driven by the blind rage they feel toward him.
I'm not saying their blindness is Trump's fault; we all have a responsibility to base our opinions on rational considerations. Iran is objectively evil and should be easy to condemn, regardless of the fact that Iranian leaders hate Trump.
Leftists actively support Iran because it is a key ally in the fight against Trump; liberals tolerate this support because they are so distracted by their own hatred of Trump that they don't even seem to notice that the left supports regimes and groups, such as Hamas, that are objectively evil.
No doubt you could ask a thousand liberals what they think of the Iranian protests and 950 would support the people in the streets; if you ask them why their favorite leftist organizations like the UN and Doctors Without Borders seem passive in the face of atrocities, they likely wouldn't even have noticed.
It is a moral blindness, and I think driven by their obsessive focus on Trump.
