Well yes they have to keep their beliefs aligned with the current direction of the administration.

What’s more stunning to me is see Venezuelans praise and Iranians invite Trumpian intervention.

    Why wouldn’t they? Everyday life is terrible in those countries. Any change of trajectory is likely to be positive.

      This is what “careful what you wish for phrases” was invented for

    What’s more stunning to me is you believe the propaganda.

Uh. 25% support military intervention in China? Which would, with high probability, escalate into a nuclear war? I guess this tells us how many of the polled Trump voters are totally out of their gourds.

    If there is no occupation of mainland soil it needn't turn nuclear. And it's not like the US or its regional allies have any interest in occupying PRC land.

      I don't think that whether or not the US has an interest in occupation is a large factor in this risk. If the US attacked China, China would respond, guaranteed. That would lead to a full-on war. Unless the US backed down, a nuclear attack by one side or another doesn't seem unlikely enough.

        Where is this "full-on war" taking place? You're describing an escalation to nuclear war in the most imprecise terms.

    I recall recent polls also showed that around 30% of Republicans would support Trump even if he was directly implicated in the Epstein files, and (in a separate poll) would also support abolishing free elections.

    So yeah. Your conclusion seems to be correct.
