The Queen of Hearts rules a kingdom with $n$ (distinguishable) cities. Each pair of cities is either connected with a bridge or not connected with a bridge. Each day, the Queen of Hearts visits $2021$ cities. For every pair of cities, if she sees a bridge she gets angry and destroys it; otherwise she feels nice and constructs a bridge between them.

Show that there is some integer $M$ such that if $n>M$, two configurations are equivalent if both of the following conditions hold: [list] [*] The parity of the total number of bridges is the same in both configurations [*] For every city, the parity of the number of bridges going out of that city is the same in both configurations.
