I know a few and their reasons for voting this way as well so describe these types of voters . These people by the way said if they could have voted in 2000 and 2004 they would have voted for Gore in 2000 and Bush in 2004(their feelings at the time , not with hindsight )

Neocon who prioritizes regime change in Iran.

In 2000, they like Gore because he was supposedly more interventionist than Bush (who ran as a semi-isolationist).

In 2004, they backed Bush because they were excited by the Axis of Evil rhetoric and figured that he might follow up regime change in Iraq with Regime Change in Iran.

By 2008, they had come to see that the war in Iraq was harming prospects for regime change in Iran. It was strengthening Iran's position (with growing influence in Iraq) and also was draining away America's will to fight in Neocon wars. Hence, in order for regime change to become a realistic prospect again for Iran, it was necessary to end the Iraq war. Although Obama might not be likely to launch a war on Iran, at least then his successor might be more likely to do so.

In 2012, they loved Romney for his hostility to Iran, and hoped that President Romney would be Bush II: Iran Edition.

In 2016, they liked Hillary's discussions/mentioning the Quds force and Solemeini, and feared that Trump would be isolationist (but were not sure). Also, they supported the Iran nuclear detail, because, let's face it, the US is not going to invade a country with nukes - regime change war can only be waged against a non-nuclear regime.

In 2020, after Trump's escalation against Iran, they decided to back Trump for that reason.
