Unless a U.S. president dies in office and is replaced by the VP, the role of vice president is normally a small one indeed. That may be even more the case with milquetoast Mike Pence, though his actions on January 6, 2021 will enshrine him in history as he certified the 2020 vote, and then escaped Trump’s vigilantes who were threatening to hang him outside the Capitol building.

In any case, we need to ask ourselves how important it may be to the outcome of the 2024 election that Pence will not endorse his former boss. Does the typical Trump supporter care? If you truly believe that restoring Trump to the White House is what this country needs, does it matter what Pence or anyone else believes?

Republicans are counting on the idea that the average American is so ignorant that he can’t distinguish between the governments of modern-day North Korea and Norway.

This is how far we’ve fallen, and in just a few years.

What’s next?
