It’s a good day for ignorance.
A poll conducted by Public Policy Polling asked Republican voters in the US if they were in favour of bombing the city of Agrabah (the fictional one from Disney’s Aladdin) in order to fight terrorism and a staggering 30% of those polled were in favour.
Let me repeat that: 30% of Republican voters were in favour of bombing a cartoon city.
Twitter has reacted as brilliantly as you might expect.

Don’t the 30% of Republicans who’d bomb Agrabah realise it’ll only create more radicals who turn into giant snakes! pic.twitter.com/T3EvDePrC9

To be fair, I’d never heard of Agrabah either. First response isn’t to bomb it, though.

We need to arm the rebels against Jafar’s regime. Supply them with all the magic carpets and genies they need to take back Agrabah

Y’all act like Agrabah ain’t full of thieves, liars, witchcraft and doddering dictators. They gotta go.

It’s hard to believe that 70% of self-identified Republicans would turn their back on our responsibility to bring stability to #Agrabah
