There are a lot of quotes that note it is not the absence of fear, but the mastery over it. There are many levers to create fear even in our society where we have, for the most part, banished the fear of hunger, disease or some army coming through your town. Fear is losing your job or threatened with some sort of fine or threat from the government. In Pence's case the fear is losing influence and political power. He made one choice. Senators such as Ted Cruz, and sadly, Mike Lee made another. It was their fear of losing influence, and eventually an election, that led to a fundamental abrogation of their beliefs.
I would like a bigger audience. And every time I post something anti Trump I can see my numbers dip, sometimes plummet. When I post some diatribe against the left the opposite happens. I am lucky in that my daily bread does not depend on building a big audience so easy for me to say to those that do, stick to your conscience. Rather, I know real conservatives are out there. Let's go and find them and hold fast until we do.
