A bunch of idiots vote for Scottish Independance following Brexit kicking them out of the EU.

Then the Scottish government shocks everyone by annoucing they have been in secret deals with Joe Biden and Jeb Bush all along and instead of becoming independent, once they leave the UK they will instantly join the Union and become the 51st state of America.

This will be on the 4th of July 2024.

They will adopt the dollar, get a senator and congressman, become American citizens, get a hard border with England, adopt shitty healthcare, the Scottish Soccerball/Rugby/Olympic Team will be absorbed into the US one.

They vote in the presidential election and get 3 electoral seats.

The US now plays in the 6 nations.

That would be bizarre. I'd expect Puerto Rico or DC to be the 51st states.

They're Scottish.

Hand them a baseball bat and they'd go "Ack, that's a wee caber to be sure. These Amercians must be as thick as cotton socks." and then try to toss it.

They'd be in line for more than 3 electoral votes. They're comparable in population to a state like Maryland which has 10. So maybe they'd have like 9.

We have some dumb arbitrary cap that says the number of total representatives in the House must stay at 435 forever so they'd have to steal some from somewhere or raise it. And let me tell you, they ain't raising it in these dumb times.

Could the rest of the US adopt their free healthcare, free college tuition and gun control as a condition of the union?

I'd welcome the Scots. I'd still spell whiskey with an e, though.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

They may be a bunch of idiots, but can they spell independence correctly?
