(12,712 posts)But when you do more investigation into Pence, he is just as, (if not more) scary than Trump. No really.
They picked him for the Evangelical/Christian faction, and if he becomes President, well, then you have a bit of a Handmaiden's tale scenario to hack away at what we have left now. I have kept an eye on the snake pit of the theocratic Evangelical movement and they are poised like cobras to act it out. No matter how likely or unlikely that may turn out to be, the shambles that Trump might leave the country in makes it far more possible. To me, that is another reason why they would want a breakdown in the system to occur, it leaves things ripe for an enforced version of their America.
The Atlantic had a good article that covers some ground on that:
Its almost as if, in that brief, barely perceptible moment, Pence is sending a message to those with ears to hearthat he recognizes the absurdity of his situation; that he knows just what sort of man hes working for; that while things may look bad now, there is a grand purpose at work here, a plan that will manifest itself in due time. Let not your hearts be troubled, he seems to be saying. Ive got this.
