An efficient facism does not require much direct state violence. It merely requires the assurance that private violence aligned with the desires of the regime will go unpunished.

Jan 6 pardons are not some one and done thing. They are the starting pistol.

Somebody will harm or try to harm an opposition figure or perceived enemy of one sort or another.

They will be pardoned.

It would not be surprising if the guy who attacked Paul Pelosi gets one just to make it clear.
