I distinctly remember my parents being in the deep minority of our area and our extended family in their protest of especially Iraq and prolonged duration in Afghanistan. It’s actually a big part of what flipped my family to Democrats and never looked back.
Fox News was beating the drums of war, Bush was saying, “You’re either with us or you’re with the terrorists,” and I would see signs in the South while on vacation saying, “Nuke the bastards”
Republicans dragged Democrats along and yes many Democrats begrudgingly went along because the hysteria was so great that if you went against the war we would only have had 1 party now.
Democrats were the first to oppose, and as said, Democrats were the ones to end it.
