    I remember I had a thought that maybe they feel the need to claim so because the line that they were going into Iraq to establish democracy created lots of democracy fans (however misinformed about the US’s goal they were) that would otherwise be part of the republican base.

    It’s probably just because their policies are actually deeply unpopular and they need a fig leaf to cover for the fact they’re pursuing legal-but-undemocratic means to achieve their ends.
