I think people did vote for this and the proof is that Republicans are still supporting trump almost unequivocally. The senate just voted to not curtail his actions in Iran and only one GOP senator opposed.

That doesn't prove what people voted for. It proves the quality - or lack thereof - of the voting population, the political class, and the media.

Few want to hear that. Fewer still understand it.

Those people aren’t in the streets shouting that this isn’t what they voted for. Stands to reason that many are just fine with how everything is playing out.
