This is about to be a big mess...

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.

This nation is out of freaking control. This shite that is going on is how wars are created

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

I don’t support DC statehood, but you do realize that we’ve added 37 states to the Union and not once has that development caused a war?

Then we need to change the rules so that we can.

Yes you can, with the consent of the state legislature(s) involved and Congress

So if the filibuster is not eliminated, how is this going to happen? Sounds like for now, there is an agreement that it won't be overturned. Thus, no radical bullshite gets passed for the time being.

The threat of these splits could be enough of a warning shot to spot the insanity.

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

Republicans are never going to go along with this.

You people still don't realize what we are up against.

We've been electing that guy you know at church that always drives the speed limit while Democrats have been electing cutthroats who know when and how to break the rules without getting caught.

I am more in favor of Puerto Rico. Pretty cut and dry. Let the DC issue be decided by the courts.

and considering how West Virginia split off from Virginia... it's interesting nowadays to see which of the two is super conservative and which makes more left turns than a NASCAR driver

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.

Virginia wasn’t a state when West Virginia entered the Union.
