Someone worse? The Islamic Republic is the incarnation of pure evil.

Haven’t you ever heard the phrase “old boss is a jerk till you meet the new boss” it can always get worse. No matter how evil the current regime is there’s always someone out there who is even worse. You can disagree with me all you want but historically speaking regime changes rarely work out for the better feel free to look it up. People always like to point out of French Revolution but then ignore all the bad that happened during and after it was one step forward two steps back.

I know what you mean. But the thing is, one should know about the context. That's why "historically speaking", this is one of those cases where the revolution might actually work for better. There are not many alternatives currently, but the people want to choose a new type of give after overthrowing this one. I'm not sure how familiar you are with IR, but there's nothing that they haven't done to the country and its people (maybe except bombing the people like they did in Syria). So any other alternative might actually be a little better. But that's what the people should decide.

The how bad it is doesn’t really affect how successful the new system will be and even I can think of ways for them to be more evil. I hope it works out for them I honestly do but the odds are against them even if they succeed.

Sure. That's totally correct. I'm just saying with a revolution there is a possibility of things getting better. But without it, one can be sure that things will get much worse.
