Some goons overreact. Go figure.
It depends if you're speaking globally or domestically. Domestically, you'd have to think Trump is (marginally) better, at least on a civil rights front - he's less likely to fervently persecute the LGBTI community, ban abortions, etc. like Pence would.

However, globally speaking, I trust Pence not to get me nuked infinitely more than I trust Trump.

Even if Pence does lovely things to civil rights and institutions in the US, they can be undone. You can't un-nuke somewhere, or un-start a war with a close ally, which I'd be pretty close to putting money on being an eventual outcome of a Trump presidency.

I don't think anyone is arguing Pence would be good, but I trust him way more not to get me killed over some stupid perceived slight, or something dumb, so I'll have to go with the option where I'm less likely to die.
