| It's Trump. He could bomb LA and 30% of Americans will cheer for it. I'm not sure consent matters. Hopefully the ensuing economic meltdown will sour enough Americans before too many people are killed, but who knows. |

I see it in a lot of comments sections and social media message to the effect of "I voted for Trump, and I didn't vote for this (war in Iran)". Generally, Any prominent pro-Israel republican if they post anything pro-war will have hundreds of negative replies. It is incredibly depressing to see people constantly falling into the trap that their political opposition are dumb / brainwashed. | | |

This is a pattern I've seen time and time again with his base, e.g. with January 6th - they start off unhappy & surprised until their media has started sharing theories and viewpoints that slowly move them towards accepting and supporting whatever happened. I'd love to be wrong here, but I don't think I am. |

| Either they believe it is no longer necessary, or they are facing some other set of constraints that is making it less feasible. |
