Brownshirts don't come from nowhere, they need cultivation. Trump is simply cultivating.
It's worth noting that this is just speculation on a promise Trump has made, but I personally have seen Trump throw so many people under so many god damned buses that I honestly don't think he'll keep this promise.
This is a long article and this it the section referenced by the title, near the end:
The real message he's trying to send is that members of his lumpen lynch mobs will be allowed to terrorize others with impunity.
And what that means to the rest of us is that the government is not going to protect us, so we'd better take measures to protect ourselves.
He could have pardoned them before he left office. Hell, he could have pardoned them before they actually did anything.
I wouldn't be surprised by anything from absolutely no pardoned all the way through blanket pardoned for FUTURE violence on lawmakers. AFAIK, in DC everything is federal jurisdiction and therefore everything is pardonable.
Future pardons don't exist, at least so far. That would require even more irrational contortions by the craven, corrupt Supreme Court, but I suppose it's foolish to rule that out, based on their past lawlessness.
