"Democrats have urged that a Democratic Congress admit new states to the Union [with] a view to blocking a Republican majority forever."
"A Democratic sweep this fall might well produce statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. And possibly for the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands."

This should be the #1 issue this November, especially in close senate races. If you vote Democrat, just know that you are voting for them to take over our government forever. If it sounds alarming, it is. Everyone should be very alarmed. I would tell everyone you know what the Dems plan on doing.
We like having 50 states...we don't want anyone messing with this, especially for political reasons!
And Texas can split into 5 states. Oklahoma could split. Your move...
Well of course. Competitive elections are a threat to democracy.

And the sheeple slumber.
This game would get really silly, really fast!
This is not hyperbole THEY ACTUALLY THREATENED TO DO THIS LAST WEEK!
Its funny how they never talk about conservative areas that have just as much a right to statehood when they carry on about DC or PR.
this! most...MOST of the people in this country eligible to vote do not vote.
All you need is an area of 50,000 people to form a new state. The game could go on for decades.
The last time we did this, Hawaii was a Republican state and Alaska was a Democrat state. They were both admitted to equal each other out politically. What the Democrats want to do is a craven power grab.
Every Bush League Republican who has voted for amnesty has voted for a permanent Democrat majority.
Flimsey Grahamnesty has done it THREE times.
DC and Puerto Rico for sure. But not the others. On the other hand, the could divide California into 3 states. The lines would be gerrymandered to guarantee democrat majorities. The division can be done under the Constitution with the assent of Congress.
“And Texas can split into 5 states. Oklahoma could split. Your move...”
The Dems in control of the Senate would reject that and prevent that from happening. Once in control, they will never lose it again. The Dems have lost their minds, and they realize they are nearly finished, but our system has a few gaping holes in it that they definitely will use to their advantage. It is scary but true, and there’s nothing that could stop them.
PLEASE make Western Maryland a separate state!!!
California has been talking about slicing the state into three separate states. I don’t know if it will ever move on from talking to actually doing the deed.
“preventing Republicans from ever taking control again at the federal level ever again.”
NO Dem will ever see any downside to that.
They want absolute control forever.
MOST of the people in this country eligible to vote do not ... have a clue what’s going on, nor do they care. But they do know what their TV tells them.
Ultimately when the big city states get too much power, you end up with civil war.
That’s how they play. They play to win. We just play to be nice.
