NO!
No more states - and especially no City-States.
This isn’t the age of Pericles or the Roman Empire.
And we most definitely do not need two more hard-core leftoid senators.
Maybe we can convince Chicago to secede and join the African Union or the European Union.

Fake news! The place name Chicago translation is where wild onions grow not your fraudulent concoction “stinky onion”.
But statehood for Chicago ? Just what the prevogressicrats need 2 more US Senators like Dickhead and 4 Houserats like Gutierez.

Throw in the Seattle area, San Francisco Bay area, Minneapolis, and Las Vegas, and you have a deal!
That would really Make America Great Again!

4 or 5 big ciies becoming states would affect the Electoral college in a big way.

The positive is maybe the GOP would have a chance in “Illinois” without Chicago. The bad news is Chicago would get its own two Senators. Oh, wait, that’s not so bad, as “Illinois” without Chicago would get two Senators as well.
But that. and the whole idea is fantasy - ain’t going to happen.

Would that ever be a blessing! I would also second the motion for our long suffering brothers and sisters tormented by other big cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia etc. Plenty of precedent for city-states...Rome, Carthage, Athens and more contemporaneous examples like Singapore, Monaco, Vatican City.

Let’s just make it a foursome and have it Chitcogo, LA,NYC,and Detoilet.
That would make it a quite populist state and get it 2 senators.

It would give the senate two blue senators AND two red senators for the rest of the state. No? Yes, which is desperately needed to offset the lunacy of Chicago voters! (I live in this state, thankfully NOT in Chicago.)

An alternative would be for “downstate” to secede from Illinois and form a new state. West Virginia seceded from Virginia and Maine from Massachesetts.
