As some have touched on, this also means that the MAGA crowd will believe that by extension they are also entitled to immunity and will act accordingly.

I once made up an idea for an action thriller, called "President Psycho", where a serial killer gets elected as the president, and immediately legalizes murder involving brutal torture for himself and his friends, if committed to the "right target". God my ideas are becoming reality before even realizing them, and the worst is that I had an idea for an edgy magical girl metroidvania that set in a dystopian world which has been completely overthrown by fascists, all while I just started to take more seriously a much more simpler and smaller game idea (Arkanoid clone that is basically a hacking minigame but bigger).
