he surely gets death threats from the MAGAts on a daily basis; and he no longer has Secret Service protection, he probably has decided it's safer to lie low and keep quiet. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he has also probably figured out by now that he needs to find a career other than politics.

His personal endangerment was just incidental, and not enough for him to abandon the cause.

That he still has a future in GOP politics.

He probably even thinks he will be the '24 running mate of TFG

Who's going to tell him...

His goal is to transition America into a hyper-Fascist Christian State.

Pence is aware that the GOP/trDUMP base is comprised of trDUMP disciples of the Tangerine Fuhrer/Emperor and have been fully brainwashed.

If trDUMP drops out of 2024 or is jailed, Pence thinks he has a chance to be the head Jesus Freak of America. If he offends the GOP/trDUMP base he erodes he chances of parking his ass in the Oval Office for four years.

Pence truly believes God and Jesus have pre-ordained him to be president inorder that he can fully transition America into the Devine Fascist Christian State here and ever after.

Amen,.. fuck the atheists and secularists.
The Dominionists and Reconstructionists will soon rule the earth with a Jesus-less iron Christian fist.

You think you know wrath,... you ain't seen nothing yet.

I think we're going to see Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, and a few others, but they're waiting for the opportune time. So is Pence. What is more interesting to me is that he thinks he actually has a chance. Even if Trump's name is dirt in republican circles, he still betrayed the party in their eyes, and that will never change. But when you're religiously insane and think that you're so special God is calling you to the presidency, it's easy to blind yourself to reality.
