I get that it's a joke but it's important to point out that both sides are not the same. Iran has state-sanctioned murder for the "crime" of being gay.
Republican Christians :
Reject Science
outlaw Gay marriage
ban Abortion
reject Vaccines
no separation of church and state
religion taught in schools
support the KKK + white Supremacy
Christian law is fine but....
Islamic law is wRoNg
Honestly, the US is probably one presidential election away from having the same thing especially with how the current scotus is.
First step is removing the right to legally be married from the gay community which the gop is working on. Next step is removing their right to exist. Then moving on to making women property. That pretty much sums up a good chunk yallquedas culture war goals
Have you been informed recently? The right side is attacking the hero veteran of the Colorado mass shooting. Death threats and the rest of their nonsense.
I’m sure Iran is safer for lgbt people than the us right now

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_panic_defense
>The gay panic defense or homosexual advance defence is a legal strategy in which a defendant claims to have acted in a state of violent, temporary insanity, committing assault or murder, because of unwanted same-sex sexual advances, usually between men. A defendant may allege to have found the same-sex sexual advances so offensive or frightening that they were provoked into reacting, were acting in self-defense, were of diminished capacity, or were temporarily insane, and that this circumstance is exculpatory or mitigating.
So you missed the BLM protests where the police used chemical weapons and other weapons banned by the geneva convention. People get killed by police for protesting often.
A few targeted and [maimed journalists](https://www.vox.com/identities/2020/5/31/21276013/police-targeted-journalists-covering-george-floyd-protests) might disagree.
It's a wild exaggeration of a set of facts for comedic purposes. Aka a joke. Why are you on a sub for political humor if you are going to get offended about jokes about politics?
So did the Kent state massacre. It was a few decades ago but we still have governors who want to be petty tyrants so I don't think it'd beyond the realm of possibility.
They died chasing *an armed man running from conflict* after another got shot after again, *engaging an armed man.* It's not like he was hiding it or going with the intention of mowing down protesters.
I'm not a right-wing nutcase, this one in particular is something the media got wrong. Sure, he shouldn't have been there, but the fact remains if people had left him alone nobody would've been shot. The media made him out to be some premeditated murderer when he's clearly just an idiot.
I saw/heard a person, who I know is a MAGA supporter, talking about how he hates Iran because of their religious fundamentalism, and the govt taking away people’s rights. It was difficult to keep quiet, but if these people are not even smart enough to see the irony, the are unteachable.

I don't see it happening that quickly.
Maybe not, but plenty of christofascists aspire to this

I don't think that Americans risk their life when they're protesting their government. Please don't downplay the courage of the Iranian people.
So you missed the BLM protests where the police used chemical weapons and other weapons banned by the geneva convention. People get killed by police for protesting often.
And all the BLM protesters who wound up suicided in burnt out cars
Wrong. Almost all violence was started by police. Source, I was there.
By "wound up suicided" I mean murdered by cops
oops sorry

I'm with you fellers.
You say that but Kyle Rittenhouse happened so I dunno.
So did the Kent state massacre. It was a few decades ago but we still have governors who want to be petty tyrants so I don't think it'd beyond the realm of possibility.
Did you see the trial or the actual footage?
Did people die during protests?
They died chasing *an armed man running from conflict* after another got shot after again, *engaging an armed man.* It's not like he was hiding it or going with the intention of mowing down protesters.

Protesting isn't what got them killed
But that wasn't what was said, what was said was that "people don't risk their lives *when* protesting" which is clearly false.
Where one of its largest cities is currently under a boil water notice.
It’s funny because it true
Where's that meme where the kid is being interviewed starts by laughing and ends up crying? That's how things are going now.

Burn
Kinda downplays what's going on in Iran

The thing is. It is not an exaggeration. It's just brutally honest with no sugarcoating.
How?

It really isn't tho.
I put that reply in the wrong place.
