Look at US involvement in the war in Ukraine. The vast majority of the GOP establishment is 100% united with Biden/Dems/neocons: they want full-scale US role. Opposition only comes from the MAGA wing of the GOP (MTG/Tucker) and the anti-imperialist left unrepresented in Congress.
Glenn Greenwald is a very smart guy. I think he nailed it.

Donald Trump appealed to the middle and the working classes, small businesspeople, Hispanics, blacks. Normal everyday people. But - while those people can give a President the victory - they cannot run the country, there is still need for members of the higher echelons. Mattis was a General with many stars. Pompeo - a former Congressman and a CIA director. Hey, Trump even interviewed Romney for the SoS job!

As far as I can tell, he still doesn’t have much of a following among the apparatchik classes.
