A large portion of Trump's base are very unhappy about bombing Iran and are very critical of any comments that are pro-war in general. 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.

Let's wait and see if they're still unhappy about the bombing in one week. 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.

		This is literally the sort of response I was complaining about. Trump's base have been consistently against wars in the middle-east and him being too close to Israel has been a consistent criticism of Trump from way back in 2016/2017. So his supporters have been consistent about this for almost a decade. So I don't think your assessment is correct at all.
