Until recently, leftists in the US proudly supported the regime in Iran:

Wisconsin Senate Candidate Mandela Barnes Celebrated Iranian Leader’s 2015 BLM Tweet
...
“the issue of US govt oppression against blacks is a 100s year-old issue #BlackLivesMatter 395 Years a Slave!”

Barnes liked the tweet and replied, “The first tweet of 2015 from @khamenei_ir is #BlackLivesMatter. Let that sink in. May This be a most wonderful year for you and yours.”
...
Khamenei has boasted that “It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region,” and called its “Zionist Regime” a “cancerous tumor.” He’s also suggested that “the Holocaust is an event whose reality is uncertain and if it has happened, it’s uncertain how it has happened.”

Prior to the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979, around 80,000 Jews were believed to have lived in Iran. Now, estimates peg the country’s Jewish population at 8,500.
...
Barnes has previously expressed support for redirecting law enforcement funding away from the police and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he currently trails Johnson by 2.8 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average.

Can we please return to this historically sensible alignment?
