Protecting Trump’s enemies from prosecution just reinforces the idea of politics as retribution. Instead, Democrats should be defending his most vulnerable targets.

Like what?
The only actions that I can think of that Trump couldn’t immediately undo are related to pardons, seating judges, or funding allies. Any other actions that Biden could take through Executive Order would be reversible, no?
Then make trump do it. Make a bunch of popular executive orders. Let trump be the bad guy.
Oh wait. That’s not pardoning a cokehead or supplying a genocide, which are the only things he’s willing to do, and you’ll forgive the former because he’s doing the latter.
I forgive the former because he’s already outlived two children and I wouldn’t trust them not to just go full kangaroo court.
Edit: I absolutely do not excuse the latter
I’d be a lot more likely to forgive the former if he hadn’t been so fucking dedicated to norms when it could have mattered for people not named Hunter or Bibi.
Bidens son was definitely used for political reasons. He had a plea deal and the GOP didn’t want that so for it thrown out.
I don’t care if he was. If Biden can ignore norms and his own word to pardon Hunter, he could have ignored norms at any point during his presidency on behalf of people who aren’t as connected as his junkie progeny. He chose not to.
