Certain states have their own stories. This will emphasize the scummy and the scandalous, not the pedestrian construction that happens everywhere. Some of these are the nailbiter voting states.
 

A lot happened during the Trump years. One day the people of Hawaii were told to seek shelter because they were about to be hit by a ballistic missile. How would you react to that? Jim Carrey in Hawaii talked to his loved ones, and got a screen shot. That became the cover of his autobiography.

Unpredictable North Korea had nuclear weapons, and tossed the odd missile around. Mr. Trump made dangerous comments about buttons and "rocket man". Could Mr. Trump start a war by Twitter? Also tensions with an expanding China.
 
 

Michigan? Something to look into. Things happened in Michigan. Dissatisfied folks with guns. Don't mess with Michigan women.
Wisconsin? Nah. There were people and events, but they are too disconnected. Paul Ryan had an arc, and wound up in the dustbin of history. Republican establishment man Reince Preibus. Never Trumper Charlie Sykes. Wisconsin fake electors
South Carolina. No. There are some characters, usually doing their thing elsewhere. Nikki Haley was the Governor, before becoming Ambassador to the U.N. in the Trump administration. Hayley flag stuff for flavour. Tim Scott in there. Lindsey Graham played golf with Mr. Trump. Representative Clyburn nudged things so that Joe Biden became the Democratic presidential candidate for that very important election. Some civil war stuff there. Yes, Stephen Colbert is from South Carolina.
California had fires, among other challenges.
 
 
 
 

Florida. Mar-a-Lago. Some misplaced documents. Covid perspectives and policy. The inevitable mass shooting. Colourful demographics. Ron Desantis (you can watch his ad if you are bored). A couple of years back there was talk about Trump and DeSantis vying to be the king of Florida. That tickled me. Shady characters including Matt Gaetz, the earlier Jeffrey Epstein, and Roger Stone was arrested at his place there. Peter Navarro was tossed in jail in Miami the other day. Tiger King, whatever that is.
 
 

Georgia. Yup. There was Mr. "It has to stop". Attorney Pak did something, then was out of a job. CNN is based there. They had a riot right at the building that you can look up. Football player Herschel Walker ran to be a Senator in 2022. They're fond of food down there. Lynn Wood and crazy lady? Chesebro? There is the sad tale of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. The hour-long phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

Here is a video going deeper into the schemes that took place in Georgia.

The state of Georgia has drama, stories, importance. There is the sad tale of election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. The hour-long phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Troublemaker Lin Wood was a Georgia attorney.
 
 

New York. Queens man Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Cohen, the Cuomos, and Anthony Scaramucci are clearly New York characters. Did you know that Donald Trump used to pretend to be his own publicist? Notice how people share the same building, and they are generally close to each other in Manhattan. Early in the administration President Trump was based in the White House, and also Trump Tower. Did you forget about the chaotic muslim ban? Old dog Schumer. New kid on the block AOC. The Apprentice Opening (there's Omarosa). New York was hit very hard early in the pandemic. Saturday Night Live, with Alec Baldwin doing a memorable impersonation of Donald Trump. Other late night shows (here if you really care). I was partial to Late Night with Seth Meyers (who has a history with Mr. Trump). NBC/MSNBC, including Bronx boy Chris Hayes, is based there, in its big building. So is Fox, in its big building. There were strict covid policies in that building. Property deals, Kushner.
 
 
 

Mario Cuomo was the Governor of New York three times, from '83 to '95. He had two sons, Andrew and Christopher. Andrew also became the Governor of New York, which included the covid pandemic. Chris Cuomo was a yapper on CNN gif 1 gif2. Andrew Cuomo got himself into trouble for sexually harassing ladies. Chris Cuomo did what he could to help his brother with the controversy, including digging up information about his accusers. Chris Cuomo actually had accusers of his own. Both of them lost their jobs, which makes sense because both of them abused their power at the expense of innocent ladies.
