I think it will be easier for us to unify than for them to.

Do you mean it will be easier for the right to unify than the left? That may be true but the left generally holds a registration edge in Atlasia.

I probably shouldn't be helping y'all, but I'll tell a story... Once upon a time, in a faraway land called "Florida" (no relation to our Florida, of course), there were two mythical parties known as "Republicans" and "Democrats". One of them, the "Democrats", had the support of a plurality of people of this faraway land, and thus you'd expect them to win elections, especially statewide ones. But the party called the "Republicans", who you'd expect to be the minority (being in the registration minority), actually were the ones who held the majority of all kinds of offices, throughout the land. Why was this? They were much better organized and ran much better campaigns than the "Democrats". The moral of the story is, registration edges may count for something, but organization, unity, and campaigning can negate and reserve any sort of trends like that. So basically, if you're running a good campaign and are united, and facing opposition divided enough that they'd rather support you than the other guy, you're on the path to victory.

I've heard tales just like that all throughout Atlasia's oral traditions. Except Mississippi, where they tell tales of the one lone Democrat who was ceremonially executed in 2010.

Naw, there's supposedly loads of Democrats in Mississippi, just like Louisiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia. You may be thinking of Oklahoma.
