There is a, seemingly, large portion of the population who willingly and unashamedly admit to things like "The only thing I can do is vote for who I think is best for me" the moment the political discourse goes beyond Red Team GUD Blue Team BAAAAHD, NO BLUE Team GUD Red Team BAAAHD. This is not to both sides this shit. This is simply to point out that it's very common for people to ignore reality, deny the facts, and metaphorically stuff their heads in the sand while the world burns around them. UNTIL the flames finally reach them, and they are personally affected. It sucks, really SUCKS. But it's the reality we're dealing with. If a certain subset of people don't care about the loss of human life, the devastation imposed on others, and the only thing that gets them in alignment with my desire (for no war / less war) is the cost of fuel/gas/oil/food/whatever, then I'll take it.
The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.
If living through the last few endless American wars has taught me anything, it's that the government is not a democracy and our opinions don't matter. Blaming yourself because Pete Hegseth bombs Iran makes about as much sense as blaming yourself for Putin invading the Donbas.
