“If you protested peacefully on Jan. 6 and you’ve had [Attorney General] Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned,” the vice president-elect said. "If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned.”

That's the thing about fascist movements...

If you're not 100% loyal, your "one of them" and an enemy. Doesn't matter if 99.999% of the time you agree, that one disagreement is the same as not agreeing on anything.

The mob isn't loyal to anything or anyone. It could turn on trump very quickly
