    Pardons don’t make anything legal. Murderers get pardoned but murder is still illegal.

    If you think you can prop up an anti-Trump president that will also pardon the terrorists supporting them, then you could in theory risk it. In practice, you’ll probably be treated the way the Jan 6 traitors should’ve been treated: shot dead, or locked up for a long time.

    By yourself?

    I mean, didn’t capitol police just shoot a man who brandished a gun just outside the fence?

    You’d only get away with it if the president pardons you, which he probably wouldn’t

    You’ll need a left of center president that is willing to use violence.

    I am not sure if even a president Bernie would pardon a leftwing “Jan 6”

    Besides, if you die, the pardon doesn’t matter anymore.
