Have the terrorists won? The main motif to emerge from a new Morning Consult survey taken after the attacks in Brussels last week is that the threat of terrorism may diminish how much people worry about privacy and civil rights.

A majority of Americans voters appear to be willing to do whatever it takes, even backing what amounts to a revocation of essential American liberties and ideals, in an effort to keep us safe.

In a national survey taken from March 24 to March 26, 50% of voters polled support a temporary ban on all Muslims traveling to the United States. The support for a ban doesn’t break along party lines as neatly as one might have thought. About one-third of likely Democratic voters (34%) support the ban, along with 71% of Republicans and 49% of independents.

The travel ban, an idea originally raised by GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump after the San Bernardino attacks and reiterated following the coordinated efforts in Belgium, is most popular among the real estate mogul’s backers, at 84%. But 65% of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s supporters and 48% of Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s supporters also favor such a ban.

On the Democratic side, 37% of Hillary Clinton supporter’s agree with the travel ban, compared with 27% of voters who plan to cast their ballots for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Mess at half of Americans virtually supporting Trump.

That's ****ed up

Sad part is I bet a bunch of blacks voted yes, as if those same white people don't want us out of the country as well.

I think it's a completely separate issue. This more stems from fear of terrorism/ISIS than someone's view of superiority over another race

Not a third of Democrats supporting it. If it is the elections today, I could see Trump winning yall.

But what does this even mean? They're just going to ban anyone who LOOKS Muslim?

Race=/= ideology
Nothing inherently wrong with condemning people for choosing to subscribe to a certain ideology.

this... anyone with darker pigmentation will be targeted and ruthlessly hated on. This can only bring negative results.

this is true but sadly the majority of ppl associate darker pigmented, middle eastern, indian ppl with islam. meaning the backlash towards muslims goes hand in hand with racism for the most part.

Roman Holiday

Islam ha artpop era.

Black Umbrella

So if someone who's originally american but just converted to Islam, it means he's banned from the US?

Andres

It's because of all the fear mongering the media does.

If we educated them instead of scaring them, they'd know the difference between extremists and Muslims.

From my perspective, islamophobia is closely linked to racism. Islam is a religion but majority of these Muslim extremists tend to come from an area of the world populated by brown people.

This is so sad

It's just so unfair.

One of my best friends is Muslim. He has a Muslim little girl. I just can't believe this is the world that Madison is growing up in. A world where half of your country wants to get rid of you...
