Let's be real, most of those folks are probably traditional white Bible Belt Conservative that would love to go back 60 years in the past.
We really need to be careful though because the left in the US underestimated those and their money and influence, we cannot do the same here and let them sneak their way into power.
Not all of them. I know a few that genuinely believe this would be a good thing. They're mostly far right conservatives though, who wish they could immigrate to Texas or whatever, but can't because the US does not actually want them. So to them, it feels like a backdoor option. Full on trumpets.
I hear they'll make you an honorary citizen and even provide you a new home if you show up at the border with gun and declare you are a foreigner who wants to live in America!
Me too. So please everyone go out and vote on April 28 (or early poll if you wish). Go to Election Canada (https://www.elections.ca/home.aspx) and make sure that you are registered to vote at your current address.
I just don't understand where these people get their information. I haven't been able to find any verifiable facts that make statehood a good idea or would save any money.
