According to an article by Sohrab Ahmari via UnHerd, published on ZeroHedge, the recent Democratic midterm election victories can be attributed to the Republican party's failure to deliver on their promise of peace and their decision to launch a war with Iran.
The article claims that this war has exacerbated an affordability crisis and had a significant impact on the economy, particularly with regards to energy prices. The article cites voter polling data, which shows that a majority of voters are concerned about the cost of living, with 87% of voters expressing concern about the price of gas and diesel.
The article suggests that the war has had a direct impact on the economy, with energy prices being a major factor in the affordability crisis. The article also quotes outgoing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who stated that the Iran conflict is the reason for higher gas prices, which hurts working-class people.
The article argues that the hawks and neoconservatives who advocated for the war with Iran are now trying to downplay its economic consequences. The war with Iran has been ongoing for nine months, and its effects on the economy and the Republican party's popularity are still being felt.
