But you don't have to be stupid to be blind (as you and I know from the UFO threads). Pence is a very conventional man and the country is in a very unconventional predicament right now.
It is hard for conventional people to see things outside their frames of reference. More a matter of being afraid and closed-minded than being stupid.
Good comments—it is about the banality of evil.
In a system where evil predominates the go along get along types can easily find themselves in wild new situations—where they then can make very bad moves.
The reason I am convinced Pence is evil is that he has never repented.
He has had plenty of time to reflect and figure out what happened and why.
