Absolutely against invading the sovereignty of one of our closest allies and friends, but why tf would they make it one singular state? There’s no way they would pass up the opportunity to split it up into many states, likely along existing province lines, in order to keep numbers up much like gerrymandering does. The premise is stupid to begin with so I’m annoyed I’m entertaining the thought, but it’s so strange that it keeps coming up like it would be one state.

Trump supporters don't know what a province or territory is. They have probably heard of states even if they can't name many. Making Canada one state minimises the true size and strength of Canada to them. It only makes sense when you consider the audience.
