Dear liberals
My wife left me
I’m going to be honest, i sometimes think there is 52 as well. Idk why (not american).
52 cards in a deck
And 52 weeks in a year.
Well, we have 50, plus a couple of territories that should be states.
PR, DC, Guam, American Samoa, definitely others I don’t have on the top of my mind. Are the Marshal Islands inhabitable, again?
Yeah, wtf is that? Are we mixing it up with weeks in the year? Does 50 just sound too convenient? I dunno. (Also not American)
That is literally my reasoning exactly.
When you come up with a fire commentary on the continued injustice of DC and Puerto Rico not having statehood but forgot you’re on an idiotic platform.
I don’t think Puerto Rico wants statehood, pretty sure they (like most of the US’s other stolen land outside of the continental span) would prefer to be an independent nationCarl says I’m wrong and brought reciepts.
In 2024 Puerto Rico held a referendum on precisely this question, and the majority (58%) chose statehood while only 11% chose independence. It’s not a perfect measure (retaining the current status quo wasn’t an option, only 63% of voters turned out) but it shows a pretty clear preference IMO.
What’s nuts to me is that neither major American party has gone for it. The House passed a bill in 2022 which would have admitted PR as a state but it went nowhere - but damn that’s two whole Senate seats that could go to either party if they came out as strongly pro-PR. Same thing for DC.
Could be that or a call to annex Canada and Greenland. We will never know
Don’t forget Panama. In fact why not just go for global hegemon? Maybe the 1 star is ahead of its time
Also Liberia is a US colony so…
