A full new state of 50.000 people who will never vote republican, meaning they’ll effectively cede control of the senate? That would be an… interesting move for sure.
No, of course not. My point was that this Florida congressman is clueless and probably just doing this to get attention. Trump would never turn Greenland into a state and this bill will go nowhere.
Only 56k people? Of that population, how many are voting age? It’s about 42k.
There’s always about 15-30% of a population who are outright authoritarian, so they’ll vote for the leadership that strips them of their rights (see: conservatives).
That means if the US feds moved about 10000 families (about 19,000 fascist voters) to Greenland it would make a supermajority for the right. This would cost somewhere between $300 million and $1 billion for the move and about $100 mil/year and in maintenance while the economy shifts to handle the influx.
Do you believe that the current administration couldn’t pry a few billion dollars to buy a permanent two R-voting senators from the education budget?

They wouldn’t have any voting rights, and no representation either of course
As a state, they would. Of course, Trump would never even consider making them a state and this random congressman didn’t think this through.
As a state they would but once a take over would happen those rights would be removed
It would be pretty funny if the democrats realized this and made it happen
You think they’ll allow those peaky natives there vote? You’re all positivism today
But no, when conquered, they’ll never get to vote, that would be bad for the Republicans
Plus, you know, I’m guessing that slave labor might be on the table again soon, so they’ve that to look forward to

Bold of you to assume that they also want the people and not only the land.
