      I would love to sit these libs down and really ask them: to what end?

      Why would Iran tilt the election for Trump, a man who fucking hates Iran and unilaterally fucked over the nuclear deal with them and was basically on the edge of declaring war for his entire presidency? Or do libs think Iran is just jokerfied and doing chaos for fun
