    But then you’ll add a bunch of left-leaning citizens to the voter pool, which screws the Republicans in the long run.

    You know what, this is starting to sound like a less bad idea

      They keep saying “51st state”, which implies Canada will only be a single state under the electoral college, and thus will be shafted just like California.

        He should have said territory. The people wouldn’t even be able to vote then.

      Bold to assume we’d have another election for that to matter

      Or that the democrats won’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again.

      At absolute best Canada will be a territory, but that will still be “bad” since it means that people born here will be US citizens and have freedom of movement. Much more likely that we’ll end up with an Israel-Palestine type scenario where they just gradually violently displace Canadians off of any resources they want, starve us literally and economically with embargos, assassinate any non-extremist political leadership, and enslave us
