Pardon all the losers who voted for him and committed crimes
I bet he won’t pardon the Jan 6. rioters since that doesn’t do anything for him. He already won with them in jail and without their votes, there’s nothing more he needs from them.
Yeah, he doesn’t like them, but he recognizes their value and loyalty. He’ll take steps to encourage that loyalty. It’s always useful for an authoritarian leader to have an unofficial paramilitary force they can call on to do… things.
Trump had two weeks to pre-pardon them in 2021 and didn’t. 71 million people just voted for Trump this time around. If 0.01% of them are crazy rioters, that’s 7100 people at his disposable. He doesn’t need an additional few hundred who already went to jail and had their life turned upside down, and may not still be loyal.

They’d do it again regardless.

Really dark, but logical.
