Consider this. If you add new states, that means you have to change the flag.
And you know what they will say, “Well if we’re going to change the flag, we might as well go all the way and do an entirely new flag”.
Then basically the current US Flag will become the new Confederate Flag.
“.. we might as well go all the way and do an entirely new flag”.”
Get ready for a flag resembling that of the LGBQT.
You make an excellent point. Hadn’t thought about that.
Likely to be Puerto Rico, Guam also in this discussion.
In the DC discussion...it’d be a lot easier to just release SE DC and Georgetown areas back over to Maryland....like Alexandria/Arlington was flipped back to Virginia around 150 years ago.
Perhaps the better answer here....allow Texas and fifteen other states to exit, then allow DC, PR and Guam to enter America-Lite.
