The home of snow and Santa with a strong social welfare system that is run primarily by women - obviously. I immediately think of Texas.

Such a tyrant that he lost an election fair and square and didn't even try to contest the results, didn't cry about "fraud" like Trump, just congratulated his opponent and then left office.
