As intended.
Trump didn't pardon all those people as just, or even primarily, a PR move. He pardoned them so they could fight on his behalf again, and secure in the knowledge that he'll be there to protect them from any potential consequences (and so that others would come forward to fight on his behalf, emboldened by the same assurance of immunity from consequences).
They're going to be his brownshirts.
- A student of history would know that Hitler had Röhm killed and the brownshirts disbanded to consolidate power once the opposition and "secular" state were subsumed by the Party. But I don't think these people plan that far ahead.
  
  Iirc He got rid of the brown shirts when he got real control of the military, so he didn't need them anymore. Trump will use the military for "legal" things and use/let the brown shirts do the illegal and messy things that competent officers wouldn't do.
  
  I don't think Trump plans that far ahead either, but that's sort of beside the point, since he does have the right self-preservation instincts to arrive at the same basic conclusion, and for the same basic reasons.
  And beyond that, yeah...
  
  It is probably safe to say that redhatters are not the reading type.
- Red hats are the new brown shirts.

- Charles' journey through life has been an interesting one. I remember his blog in the early 00s as being something the right would always point me to in order to try to "school" me.
  Now look at him...
  
  it's funny to see how many 'conservatives' have recoiled from Trumpism, and depressing to see how many gleefully embraced it..

The next several years are going to be very violent.
- And that's the best-case scenario.

If you put "proud boys" into the international translator it comes out as "tiny dicks". So PB = TD

My first thought from the picture is that that guy is really into peanut butter.
- Is P8 a kind of peanut butter?
  
  You can tell he said "make it so I can easily make it 88 once Trump and Elon make Hitler cool again.”
  
  P8 = p-eight = p-"ate" = Pâté
  Think he's a forcemeat fan.
  
  It's PB and stands for pig buggery.

Wait.. aren’t they those cowards that cried and turned on one another when they went to prison only to complain about the food choices?

Sees tattoo
Wow, this guy must really love peanut butter.

- It'll do.

These dildo bros? I wonder what kind of cumback they're planning...
- Annoys me that that hipster douchebag Gavin McInnes started this group and now is walking around free.
