I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.
Dark Pence is back.

Admit it
you always kind of wondered
what you would have done
had you been alive
during the dark times
of the previous century,
and now that you are here
during the dark times
of the current century
you have your answer,
how horrible it is
to have that answer.

It can only reproduce the environment that supports its own health: fear, denial and an atmosphere in which its victims have lost the will to fight. T. Morrison
