The 2025 and 2026 elections (so far) are a referendum on this line of thinking. The majority of Americans do not want these foreign misadventures, clearly.

Is it that clear? Attempts at overthrowing governments in Iran, Cuba, or Venezuela seem to be getting pretty bipartisan support.

Not among the voters. Remember. Donald was elected in part on promises to keep us out of foreign wars.

The difference in outrage between overthrowing foreign governments and jan6 is palpable. Most Democrats also keep voting for their imperialists (hello Genocide Joe) whereas jan6 is their red line.
