The light went on when I was writing this. You describe a precise parallel. But it is even worse. They have developed a shorthand for their doctrine: Orange Man Bad. There is no evaluation process. Just a prescribed knee-jerk reaction. The leaders of the dem party and their media enablers know exactly what they are doing. And that is why it is troubling. There is no thought process involved. Just reaction.
NOTED; the similarity between the Iran ruling regime and the woke section and radical left section of the Democratic Party in the US. One doctrine...hate Trump. Consequences; anything Trump does or says is wrong, morally and realistically. Trump's conduct; always wrong and harmful to the US (i.e., the Dems). Trump's policies demonstrated in dealing with immigration, NATO, Iran, Israel, government fraud, excessive expenditures; always wrong, misplaced, misleading, bordering on if not actual treason, war crimes (re Iran), impeccable offenses daily. Doctrine...simply anti Trump. No flexibility for/from the orthodox Democrat.
In 1989 the 1st Bush Administration was dealing with the collapsing Soviet Union. Though it didn’t officially collapse until the end of 1991, the process was underway much earlier. There was a theme those of us in the administration worked with, “Beyond Containment.” We were planning how our government was going to adjust to this new reality. It was possible to predict the future.
One can say the same things about Israel, a country with a siege mentality led by a ruthless coalition of religious zealots, who actually believe dispensationalism gives them carte blanche to wreak havoc on their neighbors.
