Probably, we’ve been functionally the 51st state for a long time, it’s only Trump’s clumsy attempts to close the deal that is finally making people aware of the fact. And our politicians lie straight to our faces about it, they do it while saying they aren’t, while saying they won’t, and they’ve done so for decades.
