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%).

News Flash. America HAS been invaded, by some two million or more persons of uncertain origin, none of whom are US citizens or vetted in any way, shape, form or manner.
And to where could the Democrat Socialists that apparently elected Joe Stolen/”Que mal” Harris to the White Hut possibly flee? All the best places are taken.
Very true. People live in denial. I wonder if the DS has revised the meaning of “freedom” in Websters yet like they did for vaccine? This could be what is holding us back.
Maybe that was what “fweedom” is.
Depends on where in the US the Invaders Invaded.
I certainty would fight to prevent Democrats from fleeing Blue Cesspool Cities.
I think most of us would gather with our neighbors and fight. It wouldn’t be for the regime. We hate them. But we would do our best for our families and communities.
And under “the enemy of my enemy is my friend, perhaps 34% (est.) of FReepers would support Putin taking over the US as a dictator, defeating NATO, for banning evangelicals from the Internet. Etc.
They probably don’t see King Brandon, an army of White Coats and their general Fauci, as enemy invaders
And sometimes, all the enemy has to say is something like..
‘Two weeks to flatten the curve’..
Fat nation freeps well and does soclal media and Trump rallies well enough
Fight a domestic resistance war.....I’m not encouraged honestly
Of course it only takes five percent or so to actually fight
Bingo. Democrats are aiding the invaders.
...all enemies foreign AND domestic.
Win / Win. Democrats communists flee the country, and we get to kill communists! Let’s Roll!
of course they would flee! a bunch of girly men and mentally ill trans dudes don’t an army make!
I don’t think the DemonRats would keep their word. If they would, an invasion might almost be worth it.
Democrats Say They’d Flee
Right after they lot your house ever seen a democrat empty handed at any time.
“Win / Win. Democrats communists flee the country, and we get to kill communists! Let’s Roll!”
Sounds like winning the lottery!
We’re already being invaded. Somebody tell the rat liberals that. They need to leave the US. Please. I hear Kanada is nice this time of year.
“the majority of Democrats would opt to flee”
Okay, so how do we tempt Putin to invade us then?
“Flee to where dummies?”
Canada, where else? They threaten to run away there every time an election doesn’t go their way.
The ones with a bit of money I suppose might opt for Europe or Australia/NZ instead.
Whoever would invade us isn’t going to leave Canada out.
I don’t believe either side.
I bet when the situation arises, that the majority of the people whio say they woulf fight, and the people who would say they would flee, will hide in their basements and hope that the dogs of war don’t sniff them out, and then after the invasion ends, will crawl out to lick the boots of the victor.
