I used to think the same but according to the polls I keep seeing the support for war seems to be very strong, up to %100 among MAGA in fact.

They used to say they are against war, against "jewish influence", against this against that but nothing seems to be changing their minds. I thought that this high ranking MAGA dude who resign over "Israel influence concerns" and immediately did rounds on the MAGA-sphere popular outlets doesn't seem to have any influence on the support for the war.

They don't appear to be ideologues but demagogues. Maybe its some more primal urge to kill and get killed and Trump has control over it?

Thats the general public that apparently doesn't have any grip. You can do whatever you want if tens of millions of people + the billionaires support you till the end when hundreds of millions are mildly annoyed by you.
