A new poll out of Quinnipiac University found that if the kind of invasion we’re seeing play out in Ukraine right now were to happen in the United States, Republicans would rally to fight for their country, while the majority of Democrats would opt to flee.

As Newsmax reported:

Among Republicans surveyed, 68% said they would stay and fight compared to 40% of Democrats. Fifty-two percent of Democrats said they would flee the country, while only 25% of Republicans said the same.

A majority of overall respondents, 55%, said they would stay and fight, with only 38% saying they would leave the country. The survey polled 1,374 U.S. adults nationwide from March 4-6, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6%.

Of course, in any poll like this the percent claiming they’d stay and fight is likely higher than the percent that actually would (as some percentage are bound to chicken out if such an invasion did happen), but it’s still notable that the Republican share of those expressing a desire to stay and fight is nearly 50% larger than the Democrat share.

This also juxtaposes interestingly with how Democrats are more likely to risk American lives overseas at the moment to defend foreign nations.

While sending U.S. troops to Eastern Europe to potentially fight to defend Ukraine remains unpopular across the political spectrum, a poll from early February found that Democrats are more likely to support risking U.S. lives to defend a foreign country’s borders (41%) than Republicans (28%).

I’d fight Democrats.

[BenLurkin]

We are being invaded. Right now. From the south.

[Sans-Culotte]

I’m surprised it was that high. I’d certainly never fight to defend the nation’s capital.

Invaded?

We’re *already* in the middle of a communist coup.

68% still seems high. I would have guessed it would be closer to 10% total, and only under the condition of a 3rd actor in the battlefield.

Illegal alien Mexicans have told me that if we had a war here on our soil, they would take their families and head back to Mexico.

[Swanks]

68% of Republicans Say They’d Fight if U.S. Were Invaded While Majority of Democrats Say They’d Watch Hated Republicans Fight for Their Freedom. Fixed it.

[FlingWingFlyer]

“Flee” my ass. The ‘RATs would be riding in Welcome Wagons and handing out “welcome baskets” and food stamps. The bastards are already doing it.

[nonliberal]

It depends on who is invading. Would I fight them or join them?

[z3n]

Democrats are america haters and occupiers.

[Mouton]

OK, dems, why wait, leave now.

[SaxxonWoods]

So, will liberals flee if Americans attack them? Sounds like it.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

“ We are being invaded. Right now. From the south. ”

And most all of the elected Republican office holders are all for it.

68% my butt.

[Tupelo]

I do not think you will see foreign troops coming down your street. What I do think you may see is their proxies, the American Stasi or Gestapo or NKVD. You know, the FBI & Homeland Security.

[HighSierra5]

For sure.

[dforest]

Flee to where dummies? If you jump in the oceans we will not miss you.
