“He wants to make all of Canada a single state…wouldn’t you break it up into multiple states? With Canada as the 51 state be the new powerhouse? Like California? Because Canada is like a whole ass country”

And I know that’s not the issue. The issue is that he’d threaten war at all… but imagine the entirety as Canada as one single state. Also Venezuela is the 52 state. Iran and Greenland are combined to the 53 state because fuck it its nearly 5 o’clock”

Puerto Rico will remain not a state

If Canada was a state, the Republicans would never win the electoral college again. There would never be another Republican president.

And the House of Representatives would be permanently blue.

And even just 2 more senators would be a massive risk for the Republicans too. If each province was a state, it would be game over in the senate as well.

California, Texas, New York, and Canada would all be blue in 2028. There are only so many Floridas and Texas is not guaranteed.

And if the Canadians in Florida and Arizona and Nevada could vote, they may not be as red anymore either.

Canada will never be a state. But it would certainly kill the US Republican Party if it did.

I don't think you are accurately accounting for the popularity of politicians who align themselves with MAGA policies in Canada

Yeah, a few make it through, but not nearly enough to affect the chaos they want to, unlike our southern neighbours...
