Interesting you should say that, as not a single one of the Iranian emigrants that I know would agree with you.

Extrapolating the politics of people who stayed based on the politics of people who chose to leave is not going to get you very far.

I’m aware of selection bias; I’m basing my view on their perception of family and friends “back home”.

Iranians who left and live in the west want Iran to be the west. Nothing changed.. they all held those beliefs before the war.
