4 days agoWhat I meant by that was that you don’t have liberal states like California versus conservative ones like Florida, because you don’t get to elect Newsom versus DeSantis. In other words people don’t move to Tehran for trans rights or free daycare, they move there because that’s where the majority of jobs are. So labeling Tehran as “where the reformists live” doesn’t make sense to me as someone who has lived there for 25 years.


I would say generally they are more religious which somewhat correlates with backing the regime. But then again, I wouldn’t categorize anywhere as a conservative or liberal stronghold.
