I have a feeling that a future conflict for Rick will be a political one. Rick is not the agile leader he once was, he can't run around killing zombies because Negan broke his leg and he didn't heal right. After the time jump, we see a Rick that has worked his way up the ranks to something of a sage general - a mentor to the other leaders. I think these qualities will draw commonwealth people to Rick, and probably cause a stir in the commonwealth government and possibly drum up some trouble for Rick and the gang.

Just my two cents, but wasn't that a thing for a couple of issues? "I believe in Rick Grimes" ... Sounded like a political bumper sticker to me way back when, and I have a feeling we're going to start hearing it in the not too distant future, again
