I don't love it either, but I'm not sure how you tell a man that he should let his only surviving son rot in prison to respect norms, institutions, and the rule of law, when the country you devoted your life to serving just pretty comprehensively voted they don't give a shit about any of that.

One of the problems is for the voters who voted for Trump because they think they're all the same and at least he might make them richer. It cements the "they're all the same" part. It's a theme pushed by the right and probably Russia, because it benefits them.

You don't think there is a section of voters who found it easier to vote Trump because of their own perceived interests and "all politicians are bad"? Not suggesting it's what swayed things, but this action makes that idea easier to push. Your financial point seems to be much the same as mine.

Not sure I understand your point over Hunter being in prison. It wasn't likely to make a difference, but Biden pardoning his son will possibly be weaponised.

Weaponized how?
