    And of course it’s 55% of Republicans, with only 13% of them disapproving.

    Conservatism is a death cult.

      I’m honestly surprised its as low as 55%. That’s barely even a majority … and that’s from his own death cult of die-hard followers who still call themselves Republican after everything the Republican party has become.

      I’m more angry that there’s any percentage of Democrats who approve of it … even if that percentage is too small to even get a label on this chart?

          And, like, how can they not fucking know if they approve of bombing another country or not? It’s a simple fucking question.

            Some people are touching a lot of grass and maybe haven’t even really heard about it.

            Or perhaps people who tell the pollsters to fuck off and don’t answer get added to this ‘don’t know’ category.

              Hmm, I doubt the “fuck off” people would get added to “don’t know”, at least not by competent pollsters and this was by Ipsos who aren’t total failures at least.

              But even if I spent 90% of my days touching grass, if someone called me and said “hello, yes, your country has just attacked Iran, are you cool with this?”, even if I hadn’t heard about it I wouldn’t be OK with it. Then again those people might not really know jack-fucking-shit about the world outside their immediate experience and couldn’t really form an opinion on whether attacking another country is bad or not, so there’s that

        32% republicans dont know, does fit with the ignorance. most of them dont even look at the news, and they will fall in line when it comes time to vote. so its likely 87%. which is in line with them being anti-woke as thier primary concern during the election, which was around the same percentage.

      Of that 55% maybe only 1/4 of them know where Iran is on a map. And, generously, only 1/10 know any historical context about Iran and the Iranian revolution.

    I wonder how many of them know that Trump pulled out of the Iran nuke deal in 2018 that minimized the number of sanctions and bombs needed. He imposed sanctions on Iran (which kill people) and now he is bombing them.
