You seriously don't believe that pardoning people like Enrique Tarrio for violent crimes perpetrated openly in pursuit of political goals doesn't encourage violence?

Is that Enrique Tarrio, FBI informant, you are referring to?

I've had to read up on him since I'm not that familiar with this topic.

I guess at some level? But in comparison with actual authoritarian regimes/societies this seems to be in the noise.

> Encourage or condone violence to advance political goals: Dehumanize opposition and/or out-groups to justify violence against them.

Again, I don't think we're seeing this happen. Has Trump given some extreme element a sense that they can get away with things they couldn't previously? Sure. That was also the case in his first presidency. Is this a society shaping phenomena. Not really yet. Could we be in a long term change that will end up with a non-democratic US? Anything is possible. Everyone needs to uphold democratic values.
