I think they should secede and form their own union and then we can ally with them at least as close as we allied with the US. I don't wanna let them in until they've dealt with the baggage that'll come with that breakup, like the gun obsessed rednecks.
You are not wrong but by proportional representation where Democrats far outnumber them, they will never win in policy so long as we don't do something stupid like voting by land rather than people.
