How much does "death penalty for drug traffickers" alarm you?

It’s the first thing Trump has suggested that’s truly shocked me. (Mostly in the sense that I didn’t anticipate it from him, or wouldn’t have guessed that he’d go there.)

I don’t think the idea’ll go anywhere—am I wrong on that?—but the fact that it’s something he’d suggest has really unnerved me. It feels very much like a “no man, no problem” kind of mindset… and I can’t help but find myself shifting my concept of how he views the world (it wasn’t great to begin with) to something decidedly… darker? colder? If that makes sense. I’m not sure how to word it. He’s saying he wants to expand the reach of state-sanctioned executions, and at some fundamental level that scares me.

Anyone else have a similar reaction? Or am I letting this feel bigger than it is?
