The "canada would be a dem state" take is so fucking annoying because, yes, it ignores how insane and evil this all is but there is zero chance we would get equal representation. "It would add 50 dem seats!" No it wouldn't! They wouldn't let it! - ThreadSky

How many seats does Puerto Rico have again? Haha

vman29397.bsky.social•44 days ago

They'd all be red that's for sure. As we speak the governor the President of the senate and the speaker of the house are all republicans in Puerto Rico

Exactly!!

Rationality stops at Trump.

They're the same people that thought Harris abandoning queer people and Gaza would get her those greatly coveted and completely fictional republican voter turn coats.

They've had decades now of expecting the rep party to play by the rules and keep being shocked pikachu about discovering they won't.

But also also, the take ignores how very much our conservative party has been digging deep in the rep playbook and that "MAGA but for Canada" has been a very real movement that is just barely wobbling at the dissonance of being reactionary nationalists who worship the guy who wants to annex them.

People making this claim but keeping their head in the sand concerning Puerto Rico and DC statehood...

Why is it a topic for discussion? Are we up to our eyebrows in this crap now? 47 talking to Putin about another country. 47 talking with Israel about another area outside Israel? You get together with your family to put someone across the country in a home? Same thing. In 1945 we let all the

Yeah republican administrations have a history of delaying indefinitely anything that would negatively impact them. Just look at how they stacked the supreme court. They would come up with some "justifiable reason" why Canadian states should not have representation. Just look at puerto rico or samoa

If the legitimate 51st state thing somehow insanely happened then, as a full state, Canada would be afforded representation in the senate and congress.

Assuming those still exist in that mad path of history.

This is under the assumption we wouldn’t be second class citizens.

juniperthesloth.bsky.social•44 days ago

It's the exact same reason they refuse to admit Puerto Rico as the 51st state, despite a decades-long campaign for their admission.

It would add 2 blue senators, and a firmly blue state to the electoral college, so it doesn't get representation.

vman29397.bsky.social•44 days ago

You sure about that. This is the pro statehood governor Puerto Rico the pro statehood President of the senate and the prone statehood speaker of the house.statehooders are conservatives

morgan-h.bsky.social•44 days ago

these are the same liberals who've been saying that they would move to Canada for the last 25 years. To them its not a sovereign state but a metaphorical land of dissatisfaction, and gee, wouldn't things be easier if it simply came to them instead?
