“The U.S. should add three more states. Because 53 is a prime number. Then they can truly be one nation, indivisible”
The U.S. Pledge of Allegiance states: “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Some people suggest that the United States should add three states and have a total of 53 states,. “53” is a prime number and is “indivisible.” The suggestion has been cited in print since at least 2012. A Star Trek meme of this joke was posted on Reddit—Mathmemes on May 8, 2021.

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

If we really want our country to be indivisible, I say we add 3 more states, that way we will have 53, which in a prime number

So, if we’re going to be adding states, I think we should add 3, not just one. 53 is a prime number, so you know “One nation, under God, Indivisible.

What the US really needs to do is add three more states. 53 is a prime number, and then we will truly be “One nation, indivisible…”

I think we need to add three more states so we have 53, a prime number. Then we will be one nation, indivisible.

It seems that if the U.S. wanted to be indivisible, they’d add three more states.

“One nation, indivisible” is right there in the pledge. We should add three more states. Then another six.

I’m convinced that if we had, like, 47 or 52 states, people would be more open to adding additional ones. 50 is just too good of a round number.

If you know mathematics:-
(The following text is a Star Trek joke.—ed.)
Spock: The U.S. should add three more states.
Kirk: Why’s that?
Spock: Because 53 is a prime number. Then they can truly be one nation, indivisible.
Kirk: Fascinating…
