Elderly challenges Supreme Leader

The elderly here when asked "why are you here?" replies:
"Ive come to get my vote back"
"From whom?"
From "Khamenei" the brave woman says!
Saying this a couple of years ago would cost you your life: Where you would be either detained, summoned and detained or questioned or labeled to be a "Monafegh" *Hypocrite- referring to the opposition PMOI who was the first to taste mass execution of its supporters during the 1980s.
In 1980 saying this would cost you a bullet or the best "being arrested and hanged the night or next day". As it happened for more than 300 teenagers who were caught on street protests of the same months of the year in 1980 and some killed on the spot some taken away and tortured to death. they too were supporters of the same movement. This is history but not repeated. Today it seems that Khamenei as Supreme Leader has not credentials or respect among people of all walks of life. It appears that his Taboo of "velaya - e - Faghih" has finally burst open, leaving a path for people to revolt against the system.
