    If you had asked before the election, I’m pretty sure 99% of the public including MAGAs would’ve considered the notion an absurd joke.

    After Trump vomited up the idea the first time, I’m pretty sure 99% of MAGAs are now sincerely and blood-thirstily in favor of it. Everybody else is either horrified if they’re paying attention, or still considering it a joke if they’re not.

    Edit: “99% of MAGAs” might be a pretty cynical guess. However, I think it’s dangerous to underestimate the effect of Trump’s cult of personality on this topic.
