Did Iran get Trump elected? [View all]
Iran is the probably the main state backer of Hamas. They probably even knew about or even backed the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7th. That produced Israel's response, which Hamas obviously was trying to provoke.
I remember some usually key Dem constituencies saying they were going to sit out the election. Also, there were "less-than-helpful people" anti-selling the Palestinian cause by blocking traffic, taking over buildings, bullying Jews, etc. Those two things hurt Harris and Walz (who I voted for) pretty badly I would argue. It might have been enough to elect Trump.
(In my crazy way, I saw the whole thing as Putin working through Iran to try to help himself with his aggression against Ukraine. I posted about that. But I digress.)
It would be ironic if the Iranian tyrant Ayatollahs' own attempts to destabilize the United States resulted in them putting Trump in office.
