How many people actually want to support this vs just joking about it "to own the libs".

Not excusing either option. The joking option is just as bad as long as it looks like actual support. I just wanting to know how much of that support is genuine.

    These people only tell jokes that are of the "punching down" variety. That makes them laugh. Stuff like this is wishful thinking, and it's always "bro, it was a prank" to dodge ownership of it.

    That's how the party of personal responsibility works.

    Also makes me suspect that republicans have zero clue who they can run after The Donald. Why else would they even bother trying to mention having the guy in office after 2028? The methods to do that are either a constitutional amendment (they don't have anywhere near a big enough majority to get one through) or unconstitutional means (scary, but also way more work/trouble than running a competent candidate and winning a normal election). It would be way easier to start grooming the heir apparent if they had any clue who that was.
