Will Conservative States Split if the Dems add 2 States as a Counter?

You can't create a new state out of an existing one.

That’s exactly what will happen. Georgia and Atlantastan for starters.

2/3 majority in both House and Senate required. Won't happen.

Looks like some West coast states need to split. California can easily be split into 3 or 4 states that better resembles each area's values.

Lets just make this easy and get right to what the left wants. Abolish the 2 senator representation and assign Senators based on population and ideology of there citizens.

Sarcastic but this is essentially what the Dems and the counter republicans are calling for. There is no purpose for any of these changes except for political power to control the government and thus the country. That being said none of it has any merit to proceed.

The republicans should counter by pushing to relocate government agencies and functions across the whole US and eliminate D.C. as a the be all for fed government.

Here’s what I would do:
1. Give DC to Maryland so they can have representation in Congress
2. Have Puerto Rico/US Virgin Islands vote on statehood vs independence as the only two options. Majority vote wins. If they vote for statehood, they get combined as a state.
3. Do the same thing for Guam/Northern Mariana Islands (which would be combined into a single state)
4. Evaluate partition plans by several states to split some states (California, Eastern Washington/Oregon, Baja Arizona, Upper Peninsula Michigan, Long Island, Chicago, Texas, etc)
5. Consider granting independence or statehood for American Samoa

If the Dems add 2 States creating 4 Senators and several House reps I wonder if that would compel Conservative States or conservative parts of liberal states to split and form new states to counter liberal additions.

The constitution would prevent that

It's only fair. I say we try to get a couple of western Canadian provinces to join the USA, just not British Columbia.

DC will not become a state
