The NYT is already both-sidesing the pardon to make it look like Biden reneged on his word rather than pointing out that it’s a defensive move to prevent political retribution. The inauguration isn’t for another month and a half and I am already losing it
It does suck that it provides “seeeee, both sides do it!” optics….but hopefully in the post-fascism era (if we make it there) the chasm of distinction will be understood.

Having said that, it was fucking moronic of Biden to do the “welcome back” tea— which completely undercut his own “Trump’s fascist” argument.
