The recipients sure gained. And some J6 protestors appear to have been overcharged and given excessively long punishments. If pardons and clemency should exist at all, it should exist for this situation.

The overcharged J6 protestors gained something. There's some measure of injustice being removed.

not using SS for something useful seems a bit of a waste
Then good thing ϟecureϟignals is bringing it back and putting it to use.

How are they going to vote? Nothing is worth more D senators and electoral votes.
I have checked https://old.reddit.com/r/somethingiswrong2024/ every day for weeks now. It's too good.
They think Trump will usher in a fascist dystopia and are horrified at Democrats smiling and nodding leading up to the inauguration.
They also think Elon Musk personally stole the election by changing votes using Starlink satellites with help from Russia. And it gets dumber from there.
for crimes that have not yet occurred
Based on my reading, pardons only cover past crimes. Though the Hunter one illegitimately technically extended a few hours into the future due to the date range and announcement timing.

politics is a continuation of war by other means
Some people use this logic to justify democracy as the alternative to bloody civil war. Rather than slaughtering each other to resolve political conflicts, we vote and then accept majority rule.

"Don't kick your dog when he comes to you."
Was this a great issue of intellectual integrity for Scott? No.
Has he at long last come around to admitting the truth? Yes.
So accept him as an ally and try to resist bitterly complaining about his past conduct.

But actually you can. The tools used to build a house could very much be used to destroy it.

That issue of Sandman was published in 1990. So many years before these women met Gaiman.
I don't put much stock in searching through someone's life and work for "problematic" content. But that one issue of Sandman is really on the nose.

He made one woman call him master like a character in Sandman made the muse when he enslaved her as his rape slave. That one issue in retrospect is almost a confession.
The rest of Sandman, not really unless we strain ourselves.
I read the whole series for the first time a few months ago. Yes, moon magic works for women and the witch asserts the transwoman is a man so it won't work for them.

Also gay characters casually accepted. This being the 80s to mid 90s even that was outside the mainstream.

Having a nanny lick shit and blood off your dick or piss off of your hand while your 5 year old is in the room or eat vomit?
Pavlovich says. Gaiman pushed down her pants and began to beat her with his belt. He then attempted to initiate anal sex without lubrication. “I screamed ‘no,’” Pavlovich says. ... She continued to scream until Gaiman was finished. When it was over, he called her “slave” and ordered her to “clean him up.” She protested that it wasn’t hygienic. “He said, ‘Are you defying your master?’” she recalls. “I had to lick my own shit.”
I get he liked sharing younger women with his wife. They both liked fucking 20 year olds and I won't pretend to be shocked. But the degradation and torment of these women including in front of a young child is vile. The boy was confused and thought she was supposed to be referred to as "slave".

Then moderation.
"A webform I can paste content into for others to see? Guess I'll programmatically post enormous amounts of child pornography into it."
Scott had a point about witches overrunning communities. He was right. The devil and his followers notice your website and have endless amounts of suffering children to show everyone.
The same derangement that makes them so against JK Rowling. She disagrees, they apply pressure on social media in their typical way, she doubles and triples down. They can't bend her. Rather than have a "you can't win them all" attitude they turn a bit hysterical.
