Rick Needs To Rally Alexandria

The battle for survival starts at home. And Rick is going to need to convince the Alexandrians to back his plans. Not everyone in Alexandria is going to be on board with his plans. Most of the people who were in Alexandria when Rick, Daryl, Carol and the others got there have died.

The rest are a little skeptical of Rick still. Especially now that Olivia and Spencer are dead. Although Spencer really did have it coming. Aaron still supports Rick. Aaron will be a big help winning over the remaining Alexandrians.

But the Alexandrians backed Rick before when he made his big speech about the need to attack the outpost. And that ended badly. Some of the Alexandrians like Tobin may need a lot convincing to rise up against the Saviors.

The Alexandrians also will need to work harder than they have ever needed to work before. Now they will need to scavenge, build weapons, gather materials, and ultimately fight. They have lived a relatively sheltered life behind the walls of Alexandria. They’re not ready for the kind of fighting that is coming.

Rick will need to get them ready, and fast, if the survivors are going to have a chance to beat Negan.
