Yeah... Even if Trump wins there's no way he remembers or cares about anyone involved in Jan 6.
These guys are way more screwed than they realize.
Trump is a narcissist who cares about image and the cheers of crowds. If pardoning J6 traitors gets him that, he will do it.
I agree with you, but I don't believe there's going to be any sort of crowd clamoring for J6 rioters to be pardoned. The issue is early on, a LOT of right wing media decided that J6 was a false flag. There's just not going to be many people beyond family members of J6 rioters that want them pardoned.
It's true he doesn't give a damn about these people but they're useful for his scam. He's already said he'll pardon people and will continue to say it because it suits the narrative he's pushing and what his base wants to hear.
The problem is he is toxic and will only get more so as his legal issues turn into jail time so it's unlikely he'll win election. If he were smart he'd drop out and secure a pardon from a more electable GOP nominee in return for endorsement. But he won't. So it seems that these proud boy / oathkeeper idiots are likely to be spending a long time behind bars.
I bet Trump thinks about them a bit. Every day Trump isn't in the White House he is reminded that they are failures. Zero surprise if they never get parole if Trump makes the WH.
