    Call his bluff.

    Ya’ll are about the size of, and politically left of, California. 54 of 538 electoral votes. 52 of 435 members in the House of Representatives. You’d be another California.

    You’re the last thing that the GOP wants involved in US politics.

    If you hate Trump, you can drive a wedge between him and the GOP simply by reminding us that you have universal healthcare, and you intend to spread it.

      That implies that Canada would be given representation instead of some inferior “possession” status like Puerto Rico. Just because he says he’d make it a state doesn’t mean anything more than any other splat of his verbal diarrhea.

        There will be elections.

        Whether we use touch screens or guillotines to cast our ballots is an unanswered question. But there will be elections.

          Sure there will be elections. But what do you do when Trump gets 90% of the vote like Putin does?

          There are elections and then there are “elections”.

            Start putting up billboards reminding the Secret Service how many terms a president is allowed to serve.

            Billboards reminding JD Vance that he can finish out up to two years of Trump’s term and remain eligible for two terms of his own.

            “Remind” Trump that everyone around him is plotting against him.
