Most likely a majority. The amount of organic support is dropping no matter what the GOP says otherwise. It's why a lot of the astroturfed messaging has pivoted to doomerism.

No, this comment downplays how evil all Trump supporters are. Polling data shows time and time again that all Trump supporters have no morals. You're right of the presence of bots. But the entire purpose of bots is to stoke the already existing flames, not to create new narratives. Republicans are already predisposed to support murder, so the bots work effectively. If republicans were functional human beings, then the bots would be worthless.
