more complicated than that. Americans are pretty libertarian until you start cramming your viewpoint down their throat and lecturing them that they are not sufficiently enlightened.
The post-George Floyd/COVID world was not sustainable and wrought with all sorts of un-American inconsistencies and the adults stood up and put an end to the nonsense. Trump is delivering on what they wanted.
He may be going mildly overboard, but he's trying to dismantle the overreaching state in the time he has and getting the US back to a result-oriented country rather than a grievance-based country that is ashamed of itself.
