Just found this interesting. A Quinnipiac poll asked registered Dems, GOP'ers and Independents if they would fight to defend the US if the country was invaded as Ukraine was. The results are as follows;
A majority (55 percent) say they would stay and fight, while 38 percent say they would leave the country. Republicans say 68 - 25 percent and independents say 57 - 36 percent they would stay and fight, while Democrats say 52 - 40 percent they would leave the country.
I know most, if not all, of you will interpret this based on your party affiliation. But it is, as I said interesting, that registered Dems are the only political group in which the majority would flee the country rather than fight for it. Why would this be the case? Why would Republican and independent voters be, overwhelmingly, willing to fight for their nation but registered Dems are 12 percentage points more likely to flee? Do GOP'ers and independents place more value in this nation than Dems?
