It’ll mess up the flag (51 or 52 stars don’t go into a regular grid), so they’ll need a one-in-one-out policy. A start could be merging the Dakotas and Carolinas.

I suggest we kick out Florida or Texas. Or both.

Having 2 festering heeps of authoritarianism next to your country is less than ideal. A strong handed attempt to reform them would be better, like an external board to determine their districts (though it'd require an amendment to the constitution)

Disagree entirely. Reform is less possible than eviction. If the federal government said “we will allow it” then Florida and Texas would overwhelmingly vote to Amerexit.

And shit, let’s just let the south have all of it back. Let them reform themselves. Slavery? Not my problem.

That's a lack of empathy that I cannot agree with.
