Like many splits, the theoretical justifications came after the interpersonal ones. Trotsky lost out on the top job, and fled to the west. He and his tendency were broadly allowed to exist by the west, as they aligned with the US foreign policy line on everything.
Their tactics of selling newspapers is partly a survival mechanism. It doesn’t really threaten the bourgeoisie, it’s good for recruiting, and it gets them funds. They’re basically tiny NGOs with consistently bad takes on AES.
That said, their analysis of things that aren't AES isn’t bad. Trotsky’s work on fascism is considered pretty stellar.
Don't know much about trotskyists today, but Trotsky pretty famously supported the CCP over the KMT while Stalin was still pro KMT.
how do they justify the switch?

Anti-USSR, anti-Cuba, occasionally anti-China pre-reform, definitely anti-China post-reform. Pro-colour-revolution. Occasionally pro-ISIS.

The Soviet (and even CPC) line was ‘work with the national bourgeoisie in a united front against Japanese imperialism’.
The Chinese trot line was ‘fight reaction all the time’.
