According to a recent poll, 41% of Trump supporters favored bombing Agrabah, the central (and fictional) location of the Disney film Aladdin. Update: 30% of Republicans and 19% of Democrats also favor bombing the Disney City. The gap is bigger for opposition. Only 13% of Republicans oppose bombing Agrabah, while 36% of democrats do. Hillary’s supporters seem a bit sharper … with only 13% for bombing, and Bernie’s are estimated at 23%.
Of Trumpers, 42% would ban Islam from the US and 41% think Japanese internment (based on race with no due process) was a good thing.
Can we see the percentages when the same number of supporters of democratic candidates are asked the same question? I have been reading your website with an open mind but it seems you are very biased in how you report your facts. You toot your own horn saying that you started this website to get the fair and balanced truth out but yet you have succumbed to the level of those not wanting to get the real truth out about all of our national woes. Those of us really searching and wanting to know the truth can never find it in any media outlet, blog, or website as it seems that none of you can really be unbiased. Just an opinion from an outsider.
Thanks for your comment and question.
So I looked for an answer and all I could find [Ah Ha, see below*] was that right-wing WPA Research did a counter-poll asking Democrats if they would support or oppose allowing refugees from Agrabah to be re-settled in the United States? 44% said they would support allowing refugees.
So Democrats, may be equally ignorant of Disney movies. But let’s think about an analogy. Consider two questions:
1. Would you accept an unknown victim of street crime named Mohammed Raffi at a homeless shelter?
2. Would you favor shooting a man named Mohammed Raffi if you knew nothing but his name?
Remember, the Democrats were asked about “refugees” not about terrorists.
I would say that it is was much better to befriend the victim of street crime without knowing who he is, than to shoot someone based on their name (See “The Good Samaritan” in the Bible).
Conservative extremists at “Red State,” however, claim this proves “Democrats are stupid,” and at Breibart they think it’s “even more embarrassing” to offer shelter to a victim you don’t know than to bomb someone based on the name of their city. So most conservative wing-nuts are essentially anti-Christian in spite of what they claim.
Also note that our best and bravest allies against ISIS are Muslims. The Kurds fight them on the ground, at great risk. They work closely with us. They also treat their women equally and even allow them in the military to fight ISIS. The picture of the drowned boy at the beach that spawned much sympathy for Syrian refugees was a Kurd from a town ISIS had overrun. But the Kurds took back what was left of it with our help.
*Thanks to Snopes, I found the full survey, and the post has been updated to report Democrats and Republicans.
Now you ask if I also criticize left wing nuts. I do. See this code-pink post. And see this section on the extreme left.
