    The population of Venezuela is around 28.6 million. The population of Puerto Rico is around 3.2 million. Venezuela would get more House members.

        That’s because Puerto Rico is not a state. According to the title of this post, Trump is ‘considering’ Venezuela as 51st state.

            I don’t think Venezuelans would accept being a territory over a state. It’s like a woman accepting to be a mistress over being a wife.

              Well, did they accept the kidnapping of their president? Unfortunately, I don’t think this fascist administration gives a shit about how they feel about it, and will do whatever it wants.

              I’ll add that while your analogy clearly makes the point, as a practical matter there are plenty of women out there that happily fulfill the mistress role that do not aspire to wifehood.

                Trump probably doesn’t give a shit but without the support of Venezuelans, the result could be another Vietnam.
