If so, was it polled somewhere?

I think it's authoritarian for America to constantly coup and bomb other countries, back business-friendly puppet governments that sell off national resources for pennies, and provide military assistance to 73% of the world's dictatorships, and I think it's weird that most American liberal politicians, journalists, and media personalities go along with it. I guess it makes sense when you look at who funds them.

I remember during the attempted coup in Venezuela, even John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, and AOC supported it. No one ever seemed to mention or care about the US sanctions crippling the Venezuelan economy. It was always Venezuelan incompetence, never American economic warfare or coordinated capitalist hoarding, that kept food off the shelves, if you listened to American television.
