I honestly have a hard time remembering which Georgia gubernatorial candidate is which vis a vis...

…the support of the Former Office Occupant.

It takes me a second or two to remember that Kemp is the incumbent Governor, Perdue is a former Senator and a cousin of the former Governor, that Trump hates Kemp and supports (albeit now waning) Perdue because he didn’t view Kemp as sufficiently loyal in 2020, although Kemp did sign into law lots of odious voting restriction measures that Trump would normally support.

To me, though, they seem almost interchangeable and both equally high levels of terrible.

Why are there so many Perdues?

The brochure said there'd only be a few Perdues!

This is a terrible vacation!

GA's secretary of state to steal the 2018 gubernatorial election for himself. The entire world watched in shock as this happened in the United States, the leader of modern liberal democracy.

After today, Kemp'll be able to concentrate his energies on doing what he can to take out Stacey Abrams again.
