Right‑wing ambivalence toward state force

Some right‑of‑centre online audiences simultaneously prize displays of decisive state power (raids, high‑profile captures, harsh immigration policing) while rejecting extended foreign wars they see as not 'their' fight. That ambivalence creates a volatile, situational coalition that can quickly pivot support or opposition depending on spectacle, targets, and perceived domestic payoff. — This dynamic helps explain rapid opinion swings that shape whether governments can sustain interventions and how politicians weaponize limited strikes for domestic audiences.
