"SNIP........

Will Saletan: “In the latest Yahoo News survey, completed on Monday, the gap between the parties remains wide. Seventy-six percent of Democrats say the U.S. should take Ukraine’s side; only 57 percent of Republicans agree. Eighty percent of Democrats endorse ‘severe economic sanctions on Russia’; again, only 57 percent of Republicans agree. Two-thirds of Democrats prefer a ‘full Russian defeat’; only 51 percent of Republicans agree.

“When respondents are asked whether ‘It’s in America’s best interests to stop Russia and help Ukraine’ or ‘The conflict is none of America’s business,’ 72 percent of Democrats say we should help Ukraine. Fewer than half of Republicans share that view.”

Try asking a question about China invading Taiwan. I am sure they will be matching democrat's number if not exceeding it. They just somehow was told to side with Putin by TFG.

He complained about trade with China long before COVID though and I am sure they hate China. It's not about democracy, it's about who they love and hate.

Many Repubs were isolationists, anti war, and mostly for appeasing Germany right up until Pearl Harbor.
