cruz wasn't ideological and the republican party does not in fact see violent right-wing radicals as on its side (at most it sees them as useful idiots), roof is staying in prison
the J6 pardons were extremely unusual and only politically possible because the only death directly caused by the events was one of the protesters. if you were going to see more pardons like this, you'd see james fields first because there's at least some semi-plausible deniability about that being an intentional attack. in reality, you can expect trump's pardons to continue to mostly be given to white-collar criminals he finds sympathetic.
