I think it’s not fringe amongst experts and those in the field. It’s absolutely still fringe among the general public, and I think it’s outside the Overton Window (ie politicians aren’t talking about it).

The Overton Window applies to the general public, and maybe particular the press.

And this is all over the press and other media now, both the old and new, left leaning and right leaning. I would say it's pretty well within the Overton Window.

Politicians in the US are a bit behind. They probably just need to run the topic with some polls and voter study groups to decide what opinions are most popular with their voter bases.
