"No, no," Winthrop said, "I'm quite sure I was elected with 54% of the popular vote and 290 electoral votes in 2020 and was sworn in on January 20, 2021--"
"...lady, it's 2020. Godfrey Smith is president," Emma interrupted. "Y'know, former Speaker of the House? Bratty dude from Memphis? And soon enough my grandfather will be president."
"Smith? I don't know a Smith. To my knowledge, there's not been a Smith as Speaker of the House in American history!"
"Yeah, he became Speaker in 2012!" Emma persisted. "And he became president after someone nuked dozens of US cities. It's a mess-- the Senate's tearing itself apart because Smith isn't doing his job right. Nashville, New York, DC, Baltimore... so many are gone now."
"Wrong," Winthrop replied, face turning red and eyes twitching with fury. "Lies, all lies-- I won, fair and square. We weren't nuked, although we've had a secession crisis."
