This is so funny. I already have the two Repubs on my FB trying to explain away their ignorance. "How are we supposed to know every city everywhere? It sounds like all the other ones over there! Etc etc stupidity & racism"

I'm rolling my eyes so hard. So you just want to bomb any "middle eastern" sounding city without any insight into why? Okay GOP...

[amyura]

I know white people named Naushon and Kaleesha. Like, WHITE white-- preppy hippie parents (this is A Thing in New England). Twenty bucks says that if GOP primary voters were handed a fake news story about either of them they'd make racist assumptions.

Yeah, this is the thing - if you don't know EXACTLY where it is, or exactly WHY you're doing it... then don't bomb it! It's not hard.

LOL. Was this a multiple choice? Or a fill in the blank kind of poll? I would't be surprised if there wasn't an option for "This is a fake place, irrelevant."

looks like multiple choice

[madamezuzu]

LOL. Then I applaud this A+ Trolling.

omfg, I am DEAD.

57% "Not Sure" though, lol... that's hopeful at least.

i couldn't tell you what the city from aladdin was, it's a movie i saw once over 20 years ago when i was in my teens. the more telling thing is that there's a good sized percentage of repubs who wish anything they perceive to be middle eastern sounding bombed.

On the other hand, maybe they thought that Agrabah is a den of iniquity. I'd bomb Atlantica, too. Fuck those fish.

[ladycyndra]

I'm offended by them wanting to bomb any random Middle Eastern-sounding city for no reason.

Fucking this.

[ladycyndra]

Oh wow. That's just. Wow.
