Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

It's obvious that Trump pardoned the J6 criminals to empower domestic terrorists who would help him build a dictatorship. Trump did it even though polls showed most Republican voters opposed pardons for J6 criminals who assaulted cops. Trump did it to build a thug army and normalize violence.
