In days of yore politicians often ran on "Lawn Order" platforms. No, these weren't HOA's run amok when your grass got too high, it was frequently a pitch against those who got too high on grass.
That is to say, politicians argued for votes proclaiming they were going to make American safe again.
So, they got elected and passed laws that criminalized enough people for them always to have a straw victim they could blame when it came time to run again (usually the day after they were elected, but that's another story).
Did those politicians want to see crime go away? Heavens now. Without crime, they wouldn't have a leg to run on.
We now see this strategy elevated to the highest degree with Iran.
The President decries the behavior of Iranian rulers, then pursues policies to insure that behavior continues.
Today's elections in Iran are guaranteed to move that country to an even more America-unfriendly position.
Just what the current American regime wants.
