I keep seeing post and comments like this.
You all realize it’s only immunity from criminal prosecution, right? It’s not instant dictatorship power over the nation. He’d have to order the assassination of Trump and members of SCOTUS to leverage the ruling for those goals.
Kill the SC then replace them with ones to sanction anything he likes?

All this talk about Biden could do all of these administrative things that he can't legally, but it misses the point.
Say he pushes some illegal orders. He can not get in trouble for pushing them, but they can be legally challenged and shot down quickly. Especially when you can legally "tip" helpful justices.
He would need to do things that could not be taken back.
You're missing the point, where the president can now legally commit an illegal act, and call it an official act, before the lawyers can deliberate, he's rounded up dissenters in the government and had them shot. No amount of lawfare raises the dead.
Unpopular opinion: You should be allowed to run for president and be a president even with a criminal record. I don't support trump and think the convictions are well earned. But democracy is a democracy - it's up to the people to decide whether or not they should have a convicted criminal in office.
Agree. The fact that we have to try to think of ways to block this guy from being on the ballot is the truly sad part. It's mind blowing that the simple gigantic list of inadequacies and reasons not to vote for him isn't enough. I can't comprehend what has happened to peoples brains. A pod person epidemic seems like an increasingly viable explanation.
