Twice in his speech yesterday, Trump said "It takes more courage for Mike to do nothing." At the time, I thought he was misspeaking, but he said it twice. I think he warned Pence of the coming actions, and Pence chose to side with the traitors. We'll see in the coming days if I'm wrong.

This is probably not a very popular point of view, but I'll lay it down here anyway.
I don't think Pence was a traitor. The VP technically can choose not to certify the votes, but that would easily paint a target on Trump being an authoritarian. Optics don't matter to most people here, but it does matter to regular folk and especially when foreign governments are involved.
So Trump had Pence not object to anything himself, and allowed the senators to commit high Treason on live TV in front of millions, with the media now being PROUD of it.
I think Trump intentionally worded that Pence would have to be "more brave" to not reject the votes, because that would lead the country down the rockier path, which is what he needs in order to cleanse the system. Every American can now see clear as day what has become of their government. Trump is a showman, and he will appear at the precise time when the clamoring is at its peak, when normal working class citizens are asking for Traitors to be hanged.
And imagine the looks on the faces of these vile people if it's Pence who starts reading off their indictments.
