More than half of the respondents strongly or somewhat approved of using military force to take on possible drug traffickers.

A little more than 60% of Americans support using military force against suspected drug traffickers, according to new polling data, as the Department of Defense continues to carry out airstrikes on vessels in the waters around Latin America.

That’s according to this year’s Reagan National Defense Survey, an annual polling of roughly 2,500 Americans on issues tied to national security, the military and geopolitical events. Of the respondents, 7% identified as veterans.
 
The results, released today, found that 62% of respondents strongly or somewhat approve of using the military to take on possible drug traffickers in Latin America and the Caribbean. It was one of several findings in this year’s survey, which noted deep partisan divides on many topics but also a growing support this year for NATO and the defense of Taiwan and Ukraine.

The survey, conducted between Oct. 23 and Nov. 3, looked at what Americans thought of topics ranging from support for deploying the National Guard into American cities to confidence in institutions like the Supreme Court or the U.S. military.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Yet the Democrats, Big Media, and many bleeding-heart judges continue to sympathize with the criminals

Republicans should exploit this detachment from the Public!

Not quite a 80 20 issue but close enought for the Dims to come down on the wrong side.

If we're going to have a "War on Drugs", then let's fight it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

There are many things they should come down on, but their leadership has the spine of a 500-year-old jellyfish with osteoarthritis. :scared smiley:
