If he pardons her we may actually see a serious schism within the GOP. I think there’s too many people who signed on because they believed Trump was going to punish pedophiles, if Ghislaine goes on TV to say Trump didn’t do shit and he pardons her, that is going to break some brains.
If you confidently say something out loud enough times it starts becoming pretty embarrassing to backtrack on it. If they can’t even come up with a justification that’s convincing in their inner monologue, they’ll have to either backtrack on being pro-Trump or being anti-pedophilia. This might sound absurdly optimistic, but I actually think most magas would have an easier time revoking support for Trump than saying they don’t care about pedophilia.
I’m kinda torn because I know Maxwell still isn’t getting the punishment she deserves but this is still better than nothing, and pardoning her may be really hurtful to the victims.
On the other hand, it may create an interesting series of events as long as NEH campists put down the lathe.

These people don’t care about pedophiles. They care about punishing liberals and built up a public reason to justify their hatred. They care about punishing non white people, queer folks, and women and will do any sort of mental gymnastics to go back to supporting Trump.

Wait until pedophilia hypernormalization explodes into mainstream. Give it a year.
If we don’t see a serious schism this will be the final example we need to know that nothing will change the minds of the settlers
Proud identification as a settler is a growing trend in MAGA circles
