Exactly.
Dutch Uncle doesn't like it when Black people are in power because he feels his whiteness supersedes them, so everyone must defer to him and his poor judgment even though he didn't vote for Biden, didn't help to get Biden elected, and bOtHsIdeD Biden with Trump (and continues to do so).

He's such a smug fucking asshole. And he always retreats and changes the subject when he's proven wrong. "Derrrrrr...DC wOuLd bE tHe smaLleSt stAtE!"
Fuck, doesn't he have access to wikipedia? Why the fuck does he think he's entitled to credibility when he can't seem to grasp basic facts?
He's not alone. ALL of the Trumpsexuals are direct descendants of the white mobs who demanded the 1877 compromise that ended Reconstruction, who lynched/shot/terrorized/raped blacks throughout the South between 1877 and 1965, who beat blacks who tried to vote in Selma, who bombed black neighborhoods in Tulsa and Roseville when they became too uppity, etc.
Hell, even the Georgia Runoffs were created when they realized that black people had an outside chance of taking the Senate there. So they basically demanded a re-do of the elections, and called it a "runoff" disingenuously.

Ratcheting the bar downward to land mass of DC sure as shit feels like a last-ditch desperation attempt to be a racist without consequence.
It's like when Conservatives pull up a map of the country that looks red, but only looks that way because no one lives in those shitty red counties.
Dutch Uncle is one of these who thinks only landowners should vote.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
If it eventually turned big money Republican doesn't that underscore all that is corrupt with that party?
If you're concerned about a Democratic dominance, keep in mind that the Democratic party is a pretty slipshod collective of various factions. It could very well be that if the Republican party is not strong enough to stand up the Democratic party for a while that the progressives might split off from the Democratic party. We could go to a three or four party system, depending on whether Trump manages to really form a 'Patriot Party' (even though there actually already is one.)

He's not concerned with Democratic dominance because if he was, he'd be screaming at the top of his lungs to impeach Trump so that he can't form a political party that fractures the GOP.
But he isn't doing that...he reserves his ire for leftists and liberals, who actually won the elections.

I see no reason not to just add them to Maryland or Virginia, simply shrink the District to the WH, etc. and make the city part of Virginia.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

ROFLMAO. Of course, that's the entire reason for doing it: Stacking the deck for Democrats. Like Trump, Democrats know "If they ain't cheatin', they ain't tryin'!"
Bullshit. Trump was behind that bullshit. Neither the Republicans or the Democrats want that to happen again.
Already posted the logic. You disagreed. Now let's see what happens as Democrats, once again, try to jam legislation down the throats of all Americans for their own benefit.
"Hatred is a failure of imagination" - Graham Greene, "The Power and the Glory"
Couple things because it seems like you're really uneducated on this...
1. This proposal was already rejected by MD and VA years ago.
2. To do this would require:
-2/3 of the House
-2/3 of the Senate
-The voters in MD, DC, and VA to approve it (could be 2/3 depending on their State Constitutions)
-Each state's legislature would need to approve (could be 2/3 depending on the State Constitutions)
-Each state's governor would need to approve
-Biden would have to sign off on it.
Now why would they jump through all those hoops when they can just grant DC statehood with 51 votes in the Senate?

Think of it as a correction.
How is it cheating? It's Constitutional. It's literally in the Constitution. Have you ever read the Constitution? Be honest, I can tell when you're lying.Like Drumpf, Democrats know "If they ain't cheatin', they ain't tryin'!"
You sure about that? How many Republicans voted to reject the election results AFTER the coup attempt? More than half of them in the House.Bullshit. Drumpf was behind that bullshit. Neither the Republicans or the Democrats want that to happen again.
No you didn't. You tossed off some generic thing about "gentrification", but because you have no experience or knowledge about gentrification, you decided to unilaterally drop the point altogether.Already posted the logic.
Gentrifiers ain't Republican, and urban areas aren't tilting Republican.
Biden won DC by a margin larger than Clinton did in 2016.
So how did you come up with this thing where you are so sure that by 2028, DC will be red?
