I think the idea of a 51st is stupid as fuck. Makes more sense that it becomes a US territory instead. Keeps the stars on the flag balanced, ya know?There's a lot of people taking the 51st state shit way to serious. If you think the anti-Trump crowd down there is rabid, the ones up here are fucking insane. They only watch or read the government funded media, so it's all anti-Trump.
When I see them on facebook on a hot topic, it's either anti Trump or anti guns. I always reply with "lol, you still can't vote or control what goes on down here and stuck in the nosebleed seats".There's a lot of people taking the 51st state shit way to serious. If you think the anti-Trump crowd down there is rabid, the ones up here are fucking insane. They only watch or read the government funded media, so it's all anti-Trump.

It'll be like adding another California and a bunch of New Yorks.Besides - it would actually be an addition of 10 states and 3 territories...
...can you imagine how many electoral votes they'd get as a single state with 41 million voters?
C'mon man - you know - the thing
Eek no!It'll be like adding another California and a bunch of New Yorks.
One thing that struck me about (most) Canadians - they put a LOT of trust in institutional sources. While I can understand putting a certain level of trust in government experts, the prevailing belief that the media was generally beyond reproach and would need a world-altering motivation to lie to them was truly staggering.There's a lot of people taking the 51st state shit way to serious.

You could give statehood to Guam, Puerto Rico and the Philippines if needed to keep the number of stars even...Agree...let's keep it in increments of 5, then 6, then 5...so on. Balance is more important at this point!
I would think some Canadians would appreciate Trump's attempt to strengthen ties with the US, because that's all this is. But hey, I guess the orange man is still orange.There's a lot of people taking the 51st state shit way to serious.

Wait, but I thought Trump was "literally Hitler" and was like the "disinformer-in-chief" or whatever. So now you're saying that HE is the one that's all about "free expression?"
Interesting.
