Pence is a religious nutcase*, he should be the fringe not the center. No wonder real live nazis are coming out of the woodworks and feel legitimized.
I've seen this coming for awhile now. The US political system has been moving further and further right. Either we somehow pull back or things will get really ugly, quick.
* some info on Pence:

1- If the US political system is not moving too far right. I think the left has really gone left and the right has went right to counter it too, thus leaving a gap in America saying, "What the hell happened."
2- I tend to find democracynow in the same light as breithbart. There is a certain agenda both sites have and I filter all the white noise in most media anyways, so I don't like the extra work of having to filter out even more of the bias agendas of either site. They both breed an unwarranted the sky is going to fall which I find unbeneficial. I tend to do the same with Rachael Maddow for MSNBC the left and Judge Jeannie FOX NEWS for the right for television. Do I know of Mike Pence history? For the most part. Do I find him as bad as the left media portrays him? Not even close.
You like to filter out the white noise whilst at the same time, participating in the MSM's favourite white noise past time of both siderism. Who is far left in the democratic party? Dems haven't really moved the needle anywhere towards the left, it's just that you've been fed a steady diet of this nonsense until it's taken residence. The republican party is full of absolute extremists, across all disciplines from safety nets, to economic, to free speech. The dems have actually shifted to the right as a party, because they've allowed themselves to be dragged there by a bunch of gerrymandered knuckle draggers. Trump regurgitates far right conspiracies as truth, and it's depressing.
You're seriously comparing Maddow with that judge? That's just plain wrong dude. I don't personally like maddow as she's too long winded with the points she makes, but that judge is insane.
I hate to say it my friend, but as part of this false equivalency nonsense in American life, you're actually part of the problem.
