Basically, people rarely want independence because wanting independence is a big undertaking and a blow to ways of being comfortable*. The right thing to do when a chunk of your country wants independence is to start up the propaganda about how good you are unified together and let them have their referendum. In Quebec and Scotland, the referendum failed thanks to that. Sending in police to bust up ballot boxes before the vote has even taken place is the last loving thing you want to do. *this does not apply to colonies and subjugated groups of course

Like I said, his brain is too smooth to explain the nuances of the situation. gently caress here's my 10 second thoughts on the matter "It's going to be difficult due to puerto rico being an island but we have the best navy in the world who are actively working to get aid to our american citizens in puerto rico" boom, the president loving sucks

Oh no, millions of franchise-less (brown) citizens are suffering, the GOP will be right on that ASAP The GOP regularly turbofucks people who (nominally) have representation and faces no consequences Many Puerto Ricans will die, the island will be a wasteland for years to come, the majority of the US public won't care The end

The problem is Puerto Rico is pretty much a clean slate infrastructure wise with pockets of people stuck in areas without any food, water, power or communication. How do you help people that you can't even reach?

MysteriousStranger posted:As a disaster? Yeah sure, but nobody gives a poo poo about PR. The only thing that can possibly save it right now is rich people deciding they want their tax haven functioning. rural america doesn't give a poo poo, but rural america is loving worthless. talk to people in major urban areas and the tone changes. puerto rico is 29th amongst all states and territories by population, solidly middle of the pack.
