23. In politics, perception is reality

If President Biden granted sweeping pardons to everyone on Trump’s enemies list, outrage in the MSM would make the brouhaha over Hunter's pardon a minor footnote.

In the rightwing media landscape, the pardons would be touted as proof positive that Biden ran a criminal organization in collusion with corrupt media that conspired in a witch hunt and weaponization of the Justice Dept against Trump and conservatives in general.

And a large segment of the gullible public would believe that narrative. Mainstream media would wallow in bothsiderism, blunting any negative coverage of the Trump regime.

Provided with tacit acknowledgment of crimes inherent in Biden's pardons, the Rethug Congress would conduct endless hearings and investigations to deflect attention from the real crimes being committed by Trump and his rogues gallery of villains.

But rest assured, Biden will not issue such pardons.
