Well seeing how the republicans are in overdrive right now trying to restrict "undesirable" from voting it seems "American democracy" is gonna take us for a wild ride.

this is also why discussing trump "pardoning himself out of trouble" is dumb. trump pardoning himself would make nothing go away, but it would keep him from being convicted from literal crimes he committed

nope, it wouldn't because the only federal authority which can convict him is the senate and he cannot pardon himself from impeachment charges

He'd still try to mega pardon himself. Congress is bad and he beat like half of them in the GOP primary so gently caress those guys I'll do what I want

Exactly, even if he issues pardons all around, that doesn't prohibit his finances from being investigated and probably indicates they should be investigating even harder; plus New York AG would be able to investigate just as hard as Mueller.

this is why i said he would pardon himself if meuller recommended charges. even if he cannot be convicted while president, he would pardon himself, his family, and whoever might be involved that was properly loyal. can't have anyone coming after him later.
