Surely not just a 51 Senate majority.

Same process as a law. Majority vote in both chambers and the president signing an admission act into law.

If DC was mostly white conservative types, it would be a state already.

I guess the list of suspects for who modded him will be pretty slim. XD

There is no reason to make it a state. In fact, there are many reasons why it should not be a state. It should stay as the weird non-state thing it is now.

The residents of DC would disagree with you hard.

Pretty much. Hell, it's why DC exists at all.

However, if they wanted representation, instead of making it into its own state, they should incorporate it into Virginia since it was the home state of Washington, Jefferson, etc.

Two problems with that: 1) Its technically Marylands land and 2) Washington D.C. hates the idea of retrocession and so does Maryland(and theres no reason to believe Virginia would be any more amenable to this harebrained scheme).
Why do you think Washingtonians should be denied the opportunity to decide their own fate?

Because no other place in the US has that freedom either. More generally, DC was purposefully set up as an autonomous zone so on that grounds it shouldn't become a state. However, if it were to become a state, logically it would become part of Virginia. As for the "land," it doesn't belong to either right now and the borders could be redrawn either way.
