I don't know what it means, but we've all accepted the idea that he really could shoot people on 5th Avenue and his numbers wouldn't budge. That's probably wrong. We've accepted that idea because his election suggested that anything is possible.
But perhaps we've been analytically over-correcting. Perhaps he can get away with a lot more than we think he should, but not *anything.* Perhaps he can't shoot people on 5th Avenue and get away with it. And perhaps he can't get away with doing what that report describes.
I'd like to think that three percent of Americans, previously unsure what to think, read that report and said, "For God's sake, this is just intolerable. If this keeps up, we're all going to die. Prematurely."
That would make sense. That's about how many of the previously-faithful I'd expect actually to sit down and read the report.
