This is honestly the funniest case scenario, because I guarantee some Republican will become the front runner by running on a campaign that consists solely of "I will pardon Trump when I become President". It's going to mean that the entire liberal discourse shifts from whatever lies they want to tell to "We won't pardon Trump because we are the party of LAW AND ORDER" in a bid to capture "moderates." It'll fail spectacularly and the Dems will lose yet another completely unlosable election, and rather than blaming the fact that they refused to talk about literally anything meaningful, they'll blame us for not coming out to :vote: for their LAW AND ORDER candidates. Trump will be pardoned and run again in 2028 taking down whatever Republican pardoned him in the first place.

I hate this world but my god it would be the funniest timeline I can imagine.
