It's great to be a student of history, but let's not kid ourselves for a second that the MAGA GOP will be moved by historical references and precedent-shaming. They have no shame, as we've seen. So then, the Democrats -- to whom this plea is directed: There are a lots of ifs along the road to this reform but I agree with you that IF the Democrats ever manage to regain control at the federal level, this move to add DC and PR is a no-brainer, a MUST. That said, notice how sclerotic American "democracy" has become? We can't even amend the Constitution or ditch the Electoral College or filibuster! So I'm not holding my breath that the Democrats will get religion or take as seriously as they should the demographic writing on the wall to which you point.
