You might have been so caught up in the Trump fiasco that you missed this. What are you going to do about this burger pols? Puerto Rico is about to enter our union after decades of being a territory. Their economy is in a recession so this means more jobless mouths to feed and more hispanics in our country. They are expected to vote overwhelmingly to join hoping it will fix their economic problems. Then there's a formality where they must debate their value to congress, who will probably let them in this year.
This is because they will probably lean right when they enter the union to appease the Republican congress. They've leaned right traditionally but many political experts say there's a growing trend of liberalism in the country. They might appease the GOP by electing right officials to congress but eventually they will become a blue state since their population is entirely Hispanics and the older members of the GOP can't even put on a smile to pretend to like Hispanic people.
