  Is my English grammar lacking or is there something wrong with the “if” in the first sentence? Shouldn’t that be a “by” ("by Canada becoming […] )?

    Commas can be used to identify parts of the sentence that can be cut out e.g. “… wisdom to cut your taxes in half … If Canada becomes the 51st state.”

    Now, here, the comma was used for a list so it shouldn’t have been used that way but I’m sure his meth head brain probably got lost partway or the AI bot that mimics his speech patterns is just that dumb.

      I don’t have an issue with his use of comma but I found it weird to say “Elect the man who has the strength […] to cut your taxes in half, […] if Canada become the cherished 51sts state of the [USA]”
      But English is not my mother tongue, so it could just be language interference.
