To that one state in the middle of the country. They will just add an “-er” to the second word in their famous motto.
Heck, Trump himself says that Trump is a threat to democracy.
I think you made that one a little too opaque. There are a lot of “one states in the middle of the country”, and most of us don’t have all of their mottos memorized.
The home state of Sam L Clemmens.
Well, that would be Missouri, whose state motto, of course, is Salus populi suprema lex esto.
I’m still not sure I get the joke, Mr. Riddler.
I believe it has something to do with the fact that Missouri is known as the “Show Me State.” Add -er at the end of the appropriate word and it all falls into place.
Exactly. Communist dictators branded their opponents as fascists, and fascists labeled theirs as Communists and Marxists.
Sound familiar?
And with most of the pundits apparently convinced that Biden doesn’t have a snowball’s chance, I’m only mostly joking when I say we should watch for a midnight arson attempt in the Capitol around the end of January.
But he said the second word. So, Show Meer State?
For the Meer Cats. Because they’re curious, of course.
Curiouser.
I think that Otto’s quotation marks were a word to late, should have been “The show me state”
I got that after a bit of Googling to confirm what I suspected. Alas, if a joke takes that much effort, it falls flatter than roadkill.
Right, it’s only obvious in retrospect. In any event, you all did better than my initial guess of “Famous-er potatoes.” 
But then I realized I was conflating Idaho with Iowa.
Iowa? The state to the north of the Show Me State?
Right. Iowa is near the center of the country. Idaho is not.
It made sense once I added the word “Golden”-The Golden Shower Me State.
…I still remember how the Republicans for years insisted they were fighting to bring dignity back to the White House. Some still claim it
(Yes, I realize “dignity” was an unsubtle dog whistle)
Meanwhile, in Tennessee, they gave a QAnon believer a police badge and let him run a child trafficking “sting” that went completely off the rails.
Woah, what a story. Just unbelievable and disgusting. I really hope the actual detective who talks about prisoners not coming out alive from certain jails, gets to go to jail himself. Maybe one of those special jails.
Sickening.
If I were that reporter I’d be very concerned. These folks are capable of anything.
