In retrospect, Trump should have pardoned himself, his family and all J6 participants

How do you propose he could have done that with so many of these charges brought after he left office

In terms of POTUS himself he was probably receiving legal advice that he would have presidential immunity like all other presidents and pardoning oneself is unnecessary.

But this Trump. The rules are different. Trump and his legal team did not know the rules were different for him at the time.

Going forward all presidents should pardon themselves and associates upon leaving the executive branch. The deep state is vindictive and dangerous.

Could have pardoned J6 people.
Could not have pardoned himself because they are charging him with things that happened after he left office. They are not charging him with leaving the WH with classified stuff - it's having that stuff after he left they are going after.

Even if he was currently the president and was convicted today for State charges, he couldn't pardon himself.

Pardoning everyone probably would have severely damaged his reelection chances. Remember that he owes his strong position to the indictments. His popularity surged with each one. Now, most of these were state charges, so the pardon would not have affected them.
