Majority of voters disapprove of things Democrats say Trump will do?

88% disapprove of him jailing reporters who write negative stories about him, while 72% oppose him using the military to stop people from protesting him.

Of course, Donald Trump has neither suggested that he would jail reporters or use the military to break up protests. The only thing of these four issues that Trump has promised are the pardons for the non-violent Jan 6th protesters. Of course, you would be hard pressed to find any pollsters willing to separate out the pardons of "non-violent" protests from all the rest. In a typical poll, here from a liberal pollster called Protect Democracy, they offer only four different options under the idea of pardons. None of these options involve those who were convicted of simply trespassing or parading or the other charges they brought against those who walked and walked back out without any actual encounters or other actions.

According to the Government website that tracks those who have been arrested and charged, less than 150 were charged with any sort of altercation involving a police officer and only a handful were charged with altercations with reporters. There was a limited number of charges for weapons, and if you remove those charges where a flagpole (or non-conventional weapon) was considered the dangerous weapon in question, you are looking at a much smaller number. Not sure that a single person brought a gun into the capital and even reports of people carrying knives were limited to a few. There were a few that carried some form of a stun weapon, and a handful that had bear spray, but none of them were charged with using those weapons. Even the destruction of property was fairly limited.

The truth is that probably 70% of those who were arrested, and charges did no more than non-violently enter the building and then non-violently leave the building. While this makes up a majority of those arrested, pollsters were loath to ask how people felt about those people. In most cases they walked through an open door and left when asked to leave and then found themselves being charged as if they were literally trying to overthrow the government. These are exactly the people Trump has promised to pardon, and there is no good reason not to.

On a side note, I went out the website again a while after the USSC decision that stated that obstruction of congress was not applicable to when someone simply disrupts an official government action via a protest. If we recall the USSC ruled that obstruction of congress is similar to obstruction of justice, in that it has to do with official proceedings and altering or destroying evidence requested by Congress for hearings and was not relevant to protests. Rather than drop these charges as the USSC suggested, it would just appear that the prosecutors are amending their charging statements to suggest that the protests prevented congress members from properly accessing paperwork. All of those charges should be pardoned for no other reason than these prosecutors are bona-fide ass-wipes who have no business being prosecutors. If I was Trump I would instruct the new AG to fire every one of those prosecutors who amended rather than drop those charges for good measure.

I think we are long past the time where prosecutors and judges should be chastised, punished, impeached or fired for ignoring superior court rulings that they do not like. Anyone who appreciates anything having to do with the rule of law, our republic, or simple common sense should agree that those who simply demand they are continuously above the law or above court rulings should be taken out of the sorts of positions where they can exploit these feelings. It's one thing to be a journalist or a politician who disagrees with a court decision, but it's another when you are someone who is supposed to follow that decision but refuse.
