I mean, probably required now with Trump promising political retribution...

Edit: Thinking about this morning, it also just removes another thing that... really doesn't matter.

Republicans going on and on about Hunter Biden's ~~fat dick~~ laptop, and... he's not a politician. He's been convicted of non-violent drug charges. He just... doesn't matter. This removed him from being a stupid rally call for people that think the president sets the interest rate

This is absolutely the problem. Everyone who said "so what" to Trump pardoning cronies will likely be up in arms that anyone other than Trump can do the same thing. We have a government that has presided over four decades of wage stagnation regardless of what names are on the org chart, and Trump offers, basically, "hold my beer."

Following a man without understanding the necessity or purpose of his movement historically ends poorly. But that's what you get for skipping world history, I guess.
