The District isn’t too big to begin with. They wouldn’t alter Maryland politics in a major way. Virginia would go blue for all eternity. DC was carved out of Maryland, give it back to Maryland and let those leftists carry the tax burden for the socialists that live there
It’s 600000 people, 90% of them democrats and most of them poor. That is too much a burden for the already beleaguered taxpayers of Maryland, and it would alter the state politically. It would go from very very very hard to win to impossible to win. That is not fair to the people of Maryland, have some consideration for the good people trapped in an already terrible state.
I did not say give it to Virginia I said leave it as it is, part of no state with no representation, it deserves none unless it’s part of some deal that helps the people, like making a new state from DC plus it’s leftist suburbs in both Maryland and Virginia, freeing those states from those burdens.
