    I did, yet it didn’t force me to start hallucinating that Puerto Rico is not part of the US. It’s almost as if I saw the facts rather than what I wished to to confirm my own biases.

        Of course, that changes nothing. As many other others have also told you, Puerto Rico is a part of the United States and not a separate country. Several have even given you proof. In your delusion, either you cannot accept being wrong or you cannot accept a reality.

        As I’ve already mentioned, every state and Commonwealth in the United States has its own government. They all, including the government of Puerto Rico, operate under the United States federal government.

        There is literally nothing you can do to change that. Although psychologist are pretty good at dealing with delusional people. Perhaps you should speak to one of them.

            The article you linked (twice) has this text (highlight is mine):

            The term also may be used to refer to the previous status of the Swan Islands, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, as well as the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands when it existed

            And a bit further in the Former Insular Areas it lists:

            Puerto Rico: military government, 1899–1900; insular government, 1900–1952; became a commonwealth on July 25, 1952

            It contradicts what you’re saying about Puerto Rico still being an Insular Area

            Did you even read that? Because it states exactly what everyone else here has been telling you. That you’re wrong.

            If you can look at a fact and see something different, you’re hallucinating or delusional.

              You read it and still think Puerto Rico cannot have its own own government? Nevermind, you are determined to be right while throwing insults. Very unpleasant

                For the third or fourth time, every state and commonwealth in the United States, has its own government in addition to the United States government. Puerto Rico is no different than that.

                I’m sorry to hear about your mental health struggles. Best of luck with that.

                  It’s not part of the US. An insular area is not recognized as being part of a country.

                  So what is it but a country?

                    Of course, nothing you just said is correct.

                    I’m sorry to hear about your mental health struggles, best of luck with that.
