I’m not saying any of this is justification for what Trump is doing, just that it’s understandable why people who fled their country might be excited to see change happen. So much so that they would willingly cheer him on. I had an Iranian friend flat out tell me the Americans could take most of the oil and it would still be a huge win for the Iranian people compared to what they have now. They want their freedom. They’re happy to see the guy who kills people getting killed, and I think there’s room to empathize there.

Does that make sense?
