It's not about common sense, which has been mentioned a few times above.

What you say is true, but it is really driven by the desire to have 2 more Democrat senators and some number of Dem representatives.

It is about power.


^^ This is the entire correct answer.

This, along with packing the court, 'importing voters,' and then making it legal for them to vote (and flip TX) - they're seeking to the move the goalposts so they can seat themselves in power in perpetuity.

The mid-terms can't get here fast enough...

Correct. 1 million times over, correct.

I also agree with the OP, that they will make every attempt to destroy our nation if we continue to let them.

The Virginia portion of DC was returned in 1837. What we think of DC is actually from Maryland. Given the precedent of the Virginia portion, returning the land to Maryland makes the most sense. Given, the leftists don’t get two senators and a representative added to their ranks.

Is it true that the D.C. State license plate slogan will be "For real yo!" ?

No. It will be "One Party to Rule Them All."

Make a trade. They get DC as a state and we make several red counties in California, or Oregon or Washington a new state. Let's throw some brothers behind enemy lines a life line and whittle off some electoral votes.

The State of Jefferson would draw a lot of conservative Californians from the rest of the state. I have a buddy up there that says the commonly held belief is that everything south of Redding is Southern California.

The residents of DC deserve proper representation like the rest of us, but the correct answer is to give that land back to Maryland and fold them into that.

But this is all about Leftist congressional seats, obviously.
