Normally the function of pardoning was self-regulating in that the media would exscoriate any President who did it in such an abusive way and the electorate would punish them and their party accordingly at the ballot box.
But corruption has become normalized and media has been completely hijacked by billionaires that reality isn't so clear cut as it once was.
This plus a lot of shit used to fly under the radar before they realized it's safe for them to grift openly.
Reality is still clear cut people just choose to ignore it.
