...and they're Trumpers.
Sorry for the rubbish title, it posted it while I was trying to add the last bit to the title, for some unknown reason.
American Voters Support Bombing of Aladdin’s (Fictitious) Homeland
"A new poll of US voters conducted by Public Policy Policing found that a surprising amount of those polled were in favour of bombing Agrabah."
"PPP found that 30% of Republican voters polled (532 in total) said they would support the action - and that the largest proportion of these were also those who said they would vote for Donald Trump (41% of his supporters)."
"PPP also asked the question to Democrat voters, of whom 19% were in favour."
"PPP communications specialist Justin Mayhew says the question was included in response to the heavy anti-Muslim sentiments being expressed by Republican candidates, most controversially Trump who has proposed barring all Muslims from the USA. "
"“But anything that sounds Arab might make these [respondents] think of people who might associate with terrorism. "
However, Agrabah looks like this:
Yep, it's not even real.
So, 19% of Democrats, 30% of Republicans, 41% of Trump supporters are absolute and utter morons. Nothing else to say about it really. People who support bombing a place because IT SOUNDS ARABIC to them.
Education anyone? No, we don't need education, we know it all already, and we don't care. Bomb it is our answer.
Weirdo,
First, shame on you for echoing someone else's garbage without vetting it first.
Secondly, are you sure that it was "Public Policy Policing"? Could it have been the highly Democratic-biased "Public Policy Polling".
Thirdly, if it was done by "Public Policy Polling", then you are citing partisan garbage. This poling organization is known for being Leftist.
Seems to me that you're not any smarter or more educated than some of the individuals you mentioned.
Highly biased? 19% of Democrats said they're bomb. Would you release this if you wanted to show the Democrat Party was fully of intelligent people? Er...
It might be leftist. But it asked a question, and people responded to this question.
It's funny how 70% of Republicans managed to not say they'd go bomb a fictitious place. I know what they did, I'm not hiding what they did. They asked a question and people responded. What this shows is a number of things.
First, some people will support the bombing of anything Muslim sounding. Second people think bombing is a solution to problems, third people often will agree with things they don't understand.
Politicians, especially people like Trump, know and understand this. Trump has got into the knickers of such people and his support is based around complete and utter idiots. Hence why 41% of Trump supporters who answered said they would bomb this place.
I'm reading into this what I see. I'm not making stuff up.
You are reading way too much into this. The question came at the end of a series of questions all dealing with Islamic terrorism, immigration re Muslims etc and so some of the respondents made an association the pollsters wanted them to make. It doesn't really tell you much more than that.
Why am I reading too much into this? So, people get told questions about Islamic terrorism, then get asked if they'd bomb a cartoon place, and they say yes. Er....

"-54% support Trump's proposed Muslim ban, to only 25% who oppose it."
Okay, 52% of Trump's supporters would have the First Amendment done away with.
"-46% support a national database of Muslims, to only 37% opposed. Trump voters support this 66/15"
So, 66 Trump supporters would have a database ONLY for Muslims, compared to 15 who wouldn't.
"-36% think thousands of Arabs in New Jersey cheered when the World Trade Center collapsed to 35% who don't think that happened. Supporters of Trump (49/24)"
49 believe Trump's made up claims about Arabs in New Jersey.
"-Only 28% of GOP primary voters go so far as to think mosques in the United States should be shut down to 47% opposed to that. Trump voters are on an island on that issuethey support it 45/28"
45 of these Trump supporters want Mosques closed down, compared to 28 who don't.
"-Supporters of most of the major GOP candidates agree with the basic premise that Islam should be legal in the United States....Trump supporters are off on their own on that one too though- just 33% think Islam should be legal to 42% who think it should be illegal."
So, again, they want to do away with the first amendment, and they've repeated this claim when asked twice.
"To put some of these findings about real modern day issues and Trump voters in context, 41% of his voters think Japanese internment was a good thing, to 37% who don't."
Actually what I've been saying, before I looked up this page I've just quoted, actually seems EVEN worse now.
You're looking at a majority of Trump supporters who want to do away with the Constitution, and less so bombing fictional places, but still it's scary. You can see the sort of people Trump is getting to support him. Could I call them Nazis? At the very least these people are ignorant and dangerous. Do you not agree?
