How long before Puerto Rico want’s to be added? Mexico? I’d like to see Cuba go from communist to pro MAGA and join. But then I feel we’d become what we hate…globalist.
Not Globalist if our federal government is small and the majority of the power rests in the individual states hands. That would be more akin to our founding father's idea of the Republic.
That's the dream. The reality is the more cultural and religious diversity, the more difficult to get things done. That's why the Soviet Union had a hard time. There were so many diverse cultures, languages, religions, customs, etc. that trying to get rid of all of that was practically impossible without the threat of constant force.
Look at Canada. Quebec is French speaking and always outside the orbit of the rest of Canada. They'd probably prefer to succeed than be part of the country but that creates a lot of expensive problems too difficult to overcome. Many would love to jettison CA from the US since they are constantly leaning insanely left. But that will never happen.
Federalism works well when people are in alignment with each other. The further away from a unified culture a state gets, the more difficult things get. Sure there can be differences in foods, music, heritage, etc. but if the state isn't 100% pro USA, it would be a nightmare.
