I'm a retired teacher, so it's instinctive for me to assume a question asking for information is genuine and answer it to the best of my ability. On several occassions, I have been the one asking, and have always appreciated a true answer or explanation. But I agree about intent being hard to read!

I'm taking your question at face value. % is a symbol meaning 'percent' or, in this case, 'percentage'. The OP is asking 'what percentage (how many) of MAGAs are Flat Earthers?'

My advice is about not touching/cutting lettuce w/a metal knife unless you're IMMEDIATELY eating every single spot touched. The metal causes a reaction, which is why lettuce knives are sharp, hard plastic. (And don't touch cheese you're not immediately eating--oils on your hands cause mold to grow.)
