It's a funny artifact of history that all our potential 51st states, PR, DC, and splitting CA, would result in a new Blue stronghold. There's no Red state to make to balance like they did with AK & HI. Split TX?
The first pattern is arranged in rows, the second is a hexagon, the third is a circle with a star pattern in the middle.
I think I'd go with the circle.

Re: turnout, most of them know that it's a lost cause. They all want statehood, but they know it's not going to happen.

Same for Guam and the Solomon Islands. No point in worrying about it.
Let's not forget the District of Columbia as well. Those guys will never be a state.

Another thing; I don't want to compete with a bajillion unskilled labor Puerto Ricans on the job market. They can keep their shitty flags of their shitty country on the rear view mirror of their shitty cars over there in their shit squalor sandwich.

Personally, I like the star patterned one.
They'd probably go with the first option as it is the most similar to the current flag.

I'm not opposed to Puerto Rico becoming a state, although I do think this is bad timing for them. Asking to become a state just after filing for bankruptcy is about the worst timing possible.

And also the current sentiment towards Spanish speakers (Puerto Rico's main language is Spanish. I wonder if there will be someone demanding that they speak English or not?).

Yeah totes all the racists will get all mad even though they already learned Spanish decades ago and there is no requirement to learn English in this country. Fuck off bitch.

Well, that's baked into the cake. When PR goes up in smoke, they are going to move to the states (Florida and New York, mostly).

I guess we have to wait and see. Although, I doubt that Peurto Rico will become the 51st state and we don't have to worry about seeing anything.
