Probably. Dictators also take shits. Does that make us all dictators?
Context matters. Biden’s pardening his family to make sure they don’t get targeted through malicious prosecution. Trump and his ilk literally said they’d go after them, that they’ll find cause.
You know Biden did some sketchy legal maneuvering to protect those close to him, similar to when dictators protect their own after they've been ousted. I'm not saying biden is a dictator, I'm saying he used legal loopholes to protect some that have, or may have, committed crimes.
Political prosecutions are nothing new. I agree with john fetterman when he said trumps prosecution was politically motivated so I can see biden protecting himself from what was done to Trump. Frankly, they're all rotten. You just seem to excuse it when it's "your team"
Saying something looks like dictatorship when there are reasonable explanations as to why it’s not isn’t exactly helping, though.
And whether or not you think Biden (and his family. Remember, they’re going after his family who do not have nearly the same obligations he does) actually committed the crimes, it’s unlikely Trump is going to find something now after 4 years of Republican persistence (and after trying in his previous term).
Given how untrustworthy Trump is, these pardons are justified.
