Charlie Harper - UK Subs (during performance of 'Born a rocker die a rocker')
Charlie Harper is indestructible My best friends American and she assures me we don’t want Trump to be killed as his second in command is even more repulsive!
Pence is indeed truly worrying, perhaps less likely to start a nuclear war by accident by having a tantrum on Twitter, but just as likely to start one deliberately.

Pence is a member of the evangelistic group that want Armageddon to happen so, yes, be careful what you wish for.

Genuine question. Do they positively want Armageddon to happen (and are actively seeking it to hasten its arrival by any means) or do they merely believe that their god is going to make it happen at some point of his/her choosing?

They want it to happen because they believe it will hasten the second coming of Christ, before which they will get beamed up to heaven by gawd in the rapture. It's an integral part of evangelical doctrine. It's what making Jerusalem the capital of Israel is all about, it's part of a prophecy that will lead to it all kicking off, or so they think. The prophecy includes building a 3rd temple in Jerusalem and making Jerusalem the capital of Israel would help with that. They think that then a dignitary will enter the temple and declare himself to be the anti-christ. Many used to think it would be Blair. I know, it's bat shit crazy, but it's what they actually believe. Generally speaking of course, I'm sure there's many evangelicals that are more considerate of others, but asides from that, yeah, they want it to happen. And Pence is pulling strings to try and force it. I don't think that they'll get what they want, but that they even want it is enough. That they are trying to force it is worse. And a lot of people think Islam is the only dangerous religion...

I take the point that people who believe in an afterlife are always potentially dangerous to those of us who believe that this life is all you get and that it's therefore worth hanging on to. I'm not competent to challenge your Armageddon extrapolation (you clearly know more about Christian evangelism than I do) but obviously I hope you're over-estimating the risk.

The Queen has already whispered in his ear, "remember what we did to your mum when she fell in love with a brown person..."
