If conservatives weren’t trying to be racist, they’d have let Puerto Rico in ages ago and picked up some more senators, which is why Democrats never seem particularly interested in pushing the issue.
I was always under the impression that the D’s would pick up seats if PR became a state, that GOP assholery like Trump’s treatment of PR after the hurricane, meant that it was a sure thing for Ds. But apparently it is WAY more complicated than that, as most things are – someone once broke PR politics down for me but I forgot everything except, “outcome would be uncertain.”
Why the 51 star flag though?
lmao I didn’t even notice, Puerto Rico must have finally gotten in
