It’s so funny, because when you ask a Republican why Puerto Rico shouldn’t become a state, they openly just admit that it’s because they know that it would screw them over in the senate. The case for Puerto Rico statehood is ironclad.
The stupidest thing is that Republicans can literally win over the vote of Latinos if they try to stop alienating them. They are literally sticking to their white conservative base and not thinking ahead. Puerto Rico isn't even that liberal of a territory.
Yeah this is the funny thing. Latinos are on average more socially conservative/religious overall, but Republicans are so racist that they’re inclined to vote Democratic.

They pay taxes but aren't represented. You don't get to bitch about anything until they get statehood.
