30% of Republicans support bombing Agrabah (and only 13% are against), with as many as 41% of Trumps supporters in favour (and only 9% against). Even among Democrats, there is some support (19%), though 36% are against [with the remainder being unsure or having no opinion].

What's so special about Agrabah?  Is that the Muslim Armaggedon?

It's the fictional county in which Disney's Aladdin took place.

This prompts the suggestion, what about only allowing politicians and the electorate to back bombing of a country if they can actually locate it on a world map?

QuoteSupporters of most of the major GOP candidates agree with the basic premise that Islam should be legal in the United States- it's 59/21 with Cruz voters, 67/11 with Bush voters, and 77/10 with Rubio voters. 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. Overall 53% of primary voters think Islam should be allowed to just 26% who don't think it should be.

So Trump voters don't support the First Amendment? :thumbsdown:

Is that all primary voters or just Republicans?

The Minsky Moment

That said, Agrabah IS ruled by an evil vizier who intends to unleash a weapon of mass destruction to fuel his ambitions of conquest and usurpation.  The case for bombing is pretty decent.
