Democrats support the Iran war because they believe it will be so unpopular that it will destroy Trump and the Republican Party, allowing them to dominate the 2028 midterms and presidential election

What Jiang said

“So, why do the Democrats support this war? Well, it's because they believe that this war will be extremely unpopular in America, which will allow the Democrats to dominate in the midterms in November, and then win the presidential presidential election in 20 uh 28. And they believe that this war will be so unpopular, it will destroy Donald Trump and um allow the Democrats to rule forever.”

Analysis

Democrats support the Iran war not for foreign policy reasons but because they calculate it will be extremely unpopular, destroy Trump politically, and allow Democrats to win the 2028 midterms and presidency.
