No they don’t, they’re idiots. Severing a valuable longstanding alliance because you don’t like their current leader, who will be in power for at most, another 4 years is an incredibly short-sighted decision.
I mean, what would “dumping our alliance” even look like? Cut off trade? Deny travel? I get the sentiment but this is just stupid, not to mention Australia’s own right wing woes.
They could stop military cooperation, they could severely limit trade, they could begin to require Americans to have visas for entry.
Don’t forget this is a poll not a diplomatic statement from the Aussie gov. If it was they would have outlined what would be expected.
Though one would expect Australia to be a little more tactful when it come to foreign policy announcements or opinions on an ally’s head of state or elections for the position.

But, they can start supporting again after 4 years. Seems pretty short sighted to not think about 5 years +.
Trump already attempted one coup to remain in power. You’d have to be a moron to think he’d willingly step down after a second term. Particularly since he’s on the record saying that he wants to be president for life - multiple times.
I mean, I’m sure he’ll have a massive coronary or stroke before he finishes his second term, if he even lives past his felony trials.
if he becomes president the trials wil almost certainly stop
Just like how Kim Il Sung died, and suddenly North Korea was free!
