- dragontamer 5y agoTrump didn't, but Americans as a whole have an accepting culture. Over 75% of Republicans and 90% of Democrats wish to accept more Afghan refugees in light of the Taliban takeover. When push comes to shove, Americans (Republicans included) are a welcoming bunch. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VJKdBglH8nPNslg4duYhtV1fuTcoWF4w/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VJKdBglH8nPNslg4duYhtV1fuTc... Question #13, which has Republican / Democrat statistics specific to that question on a later page. Something like 79% of Trump voters think we should help those Afghans come to the USA. ----- Question #12, with 59% of respondents saying the US isn't "doing enough" to help the Afghans, is even more bipartisan, with Republican/Democrat splits being negligible in the stats. (59% Democrats / 64% Republicans think Biden is "not doing enough" to help the Afghan people)
