It amuses me, that The DSA embrace, what they call a RED GREEN Coalition ! Assuming, that the Red Socialists, are controlling the green Muslim Vote ?? Well ... I take you back to, the overthrow of the Shah of Iran... for the none Muslims; it did not end so well !! VOTE RED-VOTE RED-VOTE RED- 11/03 ! After the Shah’s overthrow on 11 February 1979, the broad coalition that toppled him—including Islamists, liberals, nationalists, and leftist groups such as the Tudeh Party, Fedayeen guerrillas, and the Islamic-Marxist People’s Mojahedin—faced the problem of constructing a new state. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile on 1 February and rapidly became the dominant figure. He named the moderate Mehdi Bazargan to lead a provisional government, yet parallel revolutionary institutions—the Revolutionary Council, local committees (komitehs), and later the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (created in May)—concentrated real authority among Khomeini’s clerical supporters. On 30–31 March a referendum asked voters whether Iran should become an Islamic Republic. Official results recorded roughly 98 percent approval. The ballot offered only a yes-or-no choice; no alternative system appeared, and some leftist and liberal groups objected or boycotted. On 1 April Khomeini proclaimed the Islamic Republic. A comparatively moderate draft constitution prepared by the provisional government was then set aside. Elections produced an Assembly of Experts dominated by Khomeini loyalists, which rewrote the text to institutionalize velayat-e faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist). Ultimate power was vested in a Supreme Leader—initially Khomeini—who controlled the armed forces, judiciary, and key appointments. This constitution was ratified in a second referendum on 2–3 December 1979 with near-unanimous official support. Over the next two years the clerical faction systematically sidelined its former allies. Revolutionary courts, the Guards, and street enforcers suppressed leftists, liberals, and rival Islamists through arrests, bans, and executions, converting the diverse revolutionary movement into a consolidated theocratic republic. @TLineman29 @kmein1018 @BrendaO00357595 @Brinx65 @LaneMichelucci @purnilla @RichTjr @Amy_Buttermaker @LeighAnnCox @MiaJess98 @UNCgirl33 @NorCal_Patriot @Bic_Revelation @karen_tier70638 @bandsmom1_no @itsmelisalynn @conservemontana @Monica_from_Wi @lineman4340 @bobbymorris280 @sarcasticladyaf @tikiangels2 @polkadotrhinno @TheFloridaMike @SMHatLibs @Ultra_USMAga_FL @1109Patricia @CallieRealTalk @cali_beachangel @FloridaFlo2004 @KellyKilljoyTN
