for quite awhile. Now, I ask myself, would he be worse?? Every day I hope Trump just collapses and goes away, but I have been terrified of Pence being President. Now I wounder if anyone could be worse than Trump.

maybe with Pence we could actually get some attention on these things and the destroying of rights for women and minorites .
all this "pence would be worse" just minimizes the crap that trump is doing.

So, i don't get that concern. Overt crazy is ok now. Being crazy and hiding it can't be an advantage.
it reaffirms the fact that voting Trump and Pence out of office is the only resolution to this disaster.

(89,290 posts)a lot of the fucked up shit that Pence would do but people just don't know about it and it doesn't get attention.
with Pence maybe we can focus on those issues which are NOT popular among most .
Pence was not very popular in Indiana which is a right wing state when trump picked him as vp.

(58,799 posts)He's an ideologue, and he has the backing of the American Taliban. We should fear the idea of him being President. In many ways, he would be worse than Trump. While he may not be the business grifter that Trump is, he still has an agenda to turn the US into a theocracy.

(14,227 posts).... and Christian Nazi preachers will coalesce around Pence to put the Old Testament Warped Christian Theocracy in practice and place and phase out our Democracy so the buy-bull becomes the rule rather than the US Constitution. Once handed control the Christian Nazis will make these changes to establish a Christian Theocracy - it will make your head spin.
trDump goes along with the Christian Nazi groups because he likes being fawned over, needs their votes, and must have the boost in the polls the insane Christian Right provides for him. They are blind followers, will make up a myriad of excuses to forgive trDump for his un-Christian acts, knowing he will transform the courts and more importantly the Supreme Court to their hyper conservative Nazi Christian design.
trDump could give two fucks about the buy-bull, Jesus, or the Christian Church and their political agendas. He plays along and bear hugs the Nazi Christian pastors and congregations because it is politically expedient towards more favorable political results for trDump.
trDump is merely an actor in the Christian Nazi Theater. Pence is a devout player and yearns for a Nazi Christian Theocracy and thinks that should have happened decades ago. If given the chance he will make that happen lickety split and without reservation and/or contemplation.
Onward Christian soldier marching off to war against - Secular American Democracy to be replaced by a Nazi Christian Theocracy - will be Pence's battle cry. And wacko extreme Christian Fundamentalists will come oozing out of the woodwork to make that reality so. That will be the final death nell to our form of Democratic Governance. Narrow mindedness will wash over America to astounding and incomprehensible levels like never witnessed before. A gigantic leap backwards for our society. Cultural and societal gains of the last 50 years dismissed and erased in a heartbeat and blamed for causing the ills of our un-Godliness.
