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.
Its less about the number that agree, its moreso the ones that disagree still respect/fear donald enough that their stance is pretty much “if thats what donald wants” or “if we need to take Canada to make America great again, so be it”. They simply can’t abandon their king or admit that he wasn’t who he seemed to them.
