Man, for Trump's sake he'd better hope he keeps a bunch of other pardons in his back pocket. It's like bucket of culture war slop fish to keep his supporters clapping happily like seals, while his billionaire friends steamroll the middle class.
Damn you're right dude this could lead to all sorts of wacky shit!
Things like...
People getting arrested for violating bizarre and unprecedented curfews.
People being imprisoned without proper trials for four years.
Being fired and industry blackballed for not complying with government demands.
Getting fined and punished for saying the wrong word online.
Lawfare being used against you until you yield or are penniless.
The political establishment being all but immune to the laws of the land.
Losing access to your bank account because you acted against the establishment's goals.
Inflation going out of control.
Preferential treatment for the chosen political party in power.
Riots in the street and working class homes and businesses damaged and looted and nothing being done until it hits the affluent neighborhoods.
Insider trading running rampant in the house and senate and federal agencies.
Attempts to start proxy wars as a distraction.
States being mismanaged and emergency funds squandered until their houses burn to the ground.
Citizens who
"voted wrong" being punished by the government making things worse during a disaster.
Tech giants controlling every aspect of the online public square and enacting mass censorship against things that hurt their handler's narrative.
Our real estate and farmland being sold off en masse to foreign interests and the rest controlled by some sort of digital oligarch.
Every form of media or recreation containing some sort of propaganda or demoralization.
Citizens made to feel like unwelcome pests in their own country.
Hate and smear campaigns running 24/7 against private citizens.
Hey wait a minute...
