> Civic Science's research is reminiscent of a 2015 survey that found 30 per cent of Republicans supported bombing "Agrabah", the fictional city where Disney's Aladdin is set.

Interesting implication that those 30% didn't even need a specific reason to bomb the city. Apparently it just being Arab was already enough in their mind? (Unless there was additional context in the question that the article was missing out)

My guess would be the only context where they ever heard or thought about a city in the middle east is in context of a US war. If you think the US is only fighting for good and justified reason any city you hear something about is one that is likely full of whatever enemies the US has at that moment. Why else would anybody talk about the middle east? So of course its ok to bomb it if somebody is considering it and the military would do it then the person answering is ok with it.
