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.
Lol, what? Hispanics are highly conservative. Right wing propaganda has been overwhelming on Spanish social media for decades; it makes Fox News look like MSNBC. Latin American culture is absolutely SEEPED with conservative Christianity, with a deep rooted hatred of LGBT and anything that even vaguely reminds them of the word “socialism”.
Yet there is no question that over the past three election cycles, Latino voters – Latino men under 40, in particular – have shifted right. That change has benefited GOP candidates, even as the majority of Latinos still voted for Democrats.
However, evidence from general elections in 2025 in places such as New Jersey, New York and Virginia, as well as special elections in 2026, suggest an abrupt correction is underway, with some of the Latino voters who backed Trump now swinging back to the Democrats.
In the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump received 46% of the Latino vote, marking the highest percentage for a Republican candidate in U.S. history.
As you can see, it’s also working out great for the Latino voters.

I’m surprised. Hispanics generally vote Democratic. If Venezuela becomes a state, it will have 2 Senators and many House of Representatives members.
You assume by state he means state and not territory. Because let’s be honest, they wouldn’t get any representation at the federal level.
Look at the title of the post. It says Trump is ‘considering’ Venezuela as 51st state.
You give him too much credit to understand what statehood means when compared to making it a territory.
He is also only considering it to keep the news focused away from the Epstine files, and everything else he is actually doing.
THey’d get the same representation as Puerto Rico.
AND IF AN ARTIST FROM THERE SINGS AT THE SUPERBOWL WE WILL PLUG OUR EARS AND GO NANANANANANANA I CANT HEAR YOU
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.
Puerto Rico’s representatives are non-voting and have very limited impact on legislation. They could have 100 Congressmen and still have zero votes.
That’s because Puerto Rico is not a state. According to the title of this post, Trump is ‘considering’ Venezuela as 51st state.
Yes, and Trump is always straightforward and honest.
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.

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

Hmm Colombia doesn’t seem to be so bad, the people I know from there are very progressive. Same with Cuba.
I know some from Paraguay as well and they’re a bit more conservative but certainly not very right wing.
Catholic colonialism’s a bitch.

Propaganda works.

IF true, it’d be temporary.
Would the GOP take the chance? I’m fine with Venezuela becoming the 51st state of that is what Venezuelans want.
