If this was basically any other country the capital building would be swarming with an angry mob.

But Americans are just like "well I guess we're going to genocide a country...m bet write a quippy tweet about this"

Basically any other country is small enough for the mob to get to the capitol building at a moments notice

Plus there already are protests outside those buildings daily

Imagine driving 40 hours from LA to DC to protest on of president flip flop's statements

And European countries usually have some form of mass transit that would aid protestors in getting to the capitol. The most populous US cities are not the political center of the country and don't have cheap access to them. An Amtrak ticket from NY to DC is like $130 minimum and can barely hold a normal day's amount of commuters, let alone an influx of mass protestors. And the Amtrak NE Corridor is some of the best interstate public transit the US has.

This is just American exceptionalism

If January 6th had been angry and violent liberals the crowd would have been fired on when they started trying to get into the Capital building.

The people who are against what is going on are typically the non-violent, non-gun owning, and sensible people. The people in power and who support what is happening in Iran are the ones who support violent revolution and have no problem killing people they disagree with.

Why is the angry mob just fine with your government...

Using the US dollar for international trade

Doing daily business with the USA

Buying your weapons from the USA

Why is your country sitting at the table with Nazis and doing nothing?
