I think you guys are right and that Pence is probably not the author. I do think that perhaps it is a set up to undermine him as well although I’m not a particular fan.
I’m very angry and distressed about this. I had hoped not to live in a banana republic.
This is worse than living in a Banana Republic...it’s a badly written Sci-Fi/distopian novel or script. And though I really enjoyed reading reading BRAVE NEW WORLDS, 1984, WE, FAHRENHEIT 451, etc., as a young teen, I never wanted to nor imagined that I would actually live through such scenarios.
