    Your first paragraph makes the assumption that the American people are/were on board with what is happening with Iran. Trump never attempted to get the population to support his actions. It’s deeply unpopular with his base and liberals alike.

    With project 2025 they seized all levers of control. Checks and balances, if they ever existed, are all but gone. Seems the courts are the only thing left that produce any pushback and that is an intentionally slow process vs the move fast and break things actions of Trump.

    He doesn’t care about his approval ratings, and congress isn’t doing their job. Huge amounts of aipac money are being pumped into all levels of government. Disinformation campaigns from 24/7 news stations keep the normies divided. Bot farms are further manipulating the online narrative using ai.

    The whole thing is fucked, but it’s a little more nuanced than the general population not understanding (or frankly wanting to understand) the JCPOA.

    Our government has basically been overthrown, and other than protests or violence, there is nothing we can do to stop it until November. We don’t have a viable mechanism to eject Trump in the meantime, and he’s going to continue stacking the deck in his favor with gerrymandering and other sketchy shit until then.

    Turns out money and power runs things, and that doesn’t produce the best outcomes.

      But I’m not talking about “the whole thing,” I’m talking about this specific thing.

          If people were more aware of the intricacies of the JCPOA, they might have been more skeptical of Trump’s narrative regarding it.

          I’m not really sure what you’re asking tbh. Change what? I don’t recall saying that it would’ve changed anything, only that it was true.
