No they did not.

Democratic elected officials absolutely did
The AUMF had a single no vote in Congress
The Patriot act was supported by more than 70% of house Democrats, before passing the Senate 98-1


These were reactionary measures to 9/11

If you tried to pass it today, you'd have a lot of blowback.

Obama got tons of shit from his own party when he expanded the Patriot Act.

You can't really count what people approve of while they're being bombed and looking at billions of dollars worth of rubble and thousands of dead family/friends as a general ideology.

Like, if you're literally starving to death, you'd probably eat all kinds of shit you think is disgusting, and you'd probably even say it tastes great.
