There are remarkably few overlaps between the geopolitical situation of the UK vs the US. It isn't unexpected that people take different positions - the only thing the right wing parties are expected to agree on are some broad economic and social principles. With a lot of caveats and "maybe"s.

It is like being fascinated that the Indian right have different opinions, or the South African right. Or the Russian right. Or different factions of the US right wing. It is fascinating, but the UK voters aren't expected to be on the same wavelength as the States; Johnson or no Johnson. They have different interests and motivations.
