The single most important purity test is Trump. Abraham Lincoln, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mr Rogers, and uhh Eleanor Roosevelt would instantly become terrible people if they shook Trump's hand, regardless of anything else they did or accomplished in life. That's how it works. It's like King Midas kinda.

If Buffalo wins it, would that count?

Trump doesn't spend time thinking about the practicalities of something like this, because when he says "51st state" what he means is "The latest expansion of my kingly domain."

He has zero intention of letting newly subjugated Canadians vote. He doesn't even want to let Americans vote. These are the fantasies of an autocrat, not carefully thought out plans.

If Canada was a state, the Republicans would never win the electoral college again. There would never be another Republican president.

And the House of Representatives would be permanently blue.

And even just 2 more senators would be a massive risk for the Republicans too. If each province was a state, it would be game over in the senate as well.

California, Texas, New York, and Canada would all be blue in 2028. There are only so many Floridas and Texas is not guaranteed.

And if the Canadians in Florida and Arizona and Nevada could vote, they may not be as red anymore either.

Canada will never be a state. But it would certainly kill the US Republican Party if it did.

Everything is bigger in canada

Making it 4-5 states would hand the Dems the senate. They want another Puerto Rico with no real representation.

It may be worth it if you had a chance to say 'how tiny' as you clasped his hand. Though representing the NHL not like they could do that, or most people in his insulated environment.

As a European, I disagree hard on this. Sports is mostly about community, local clubs and entertainment for the 9-5 worker. To have something that takes away the thoughts of the housing loan, ensurance bills, health, kids, job, etc.

All mainstream media does is give publicity to Chump

Like that traitor Gretzky.
