Despite a wildly unpopular war with Iran, a mass protest movement for peace hasn’t materialized — at least in the ways we’ve been taught to recognize.

    No one liked Sadda Hussein’s Iraq but that war had quite a few protests.

    The difference I see is that we weren’t lied into justifying this war. It isn’t popular even among Republicans. Hell, the Republicans ran the last election in significant part saying that Kamala Harris would start wars and vote for Trump because he would not.

    There are no Iran war protests because in 2026 America has a widespread feeling like nothing people can do fucking matters at all.
