Wouldn't put it past them to rig the vote, if this is representative of the leadership they're stuck with.

I honestly would welcome them being that openly desperate
See, you guys are dumb as f*ck and do not think through your actions. So by all means, do it. Make them states, pack the courts, etc.
One thing tho: you decide to get violent if the other side eventually does the same? That ends in tragedy. So be careful.

You're already going "REEEEeeeeee!!11!" and we're just discussing a hypothetical, so I don't think you'll actually "welcome" it should it become a reality in 2021-4. You'll have meltdowns is the more likely outcome.

If they get a majority they’d be able to do it if they killed the filibuster. It would only require a simple majority and the territories voting in favor of becoming states.
As far as PR goes there’s actually no guarantee they’d even vote for dem senators. They’re pretty socially conservative and may end up voting for republicans.
You added to this post and I only got the first line initially-
Not thinking what through, angry guy? Sure, that would be great and the right thing to do as Puerto Rico and Guam citizens are effectively second-class citizens right now.
The only one talking violence here is you... What other territories do you feel should become US states that the Republicans would initiate?
That's their right to do so as Americans, they're free to choose. I'm not a Trumper, so I don't feel Americans should have less rights because they might vote differently than me.

As for the question of how they’ve voted in the past on this. In 2012 54% voted against maintaining the status quo. Of those people 61% chose statehood.
In 2017 another vote was held. It had very low turnout but statehood got 97% of the vote.
And as I said they will be voting again in November and this will be the first time that a simple “yes” or “no” vote will occur. The previous votes all had multiple options.
