Impossible, it would require substantial changes to the US constitution that will simply not pass.

Not really.  Making the Queen be our Head of State would, but that's not a requirement for joining the Commonwealth.  Constitutionally, joining the Commonwealth would be no different than us joining any other international organization.

Wait, those people shouting no because of the constitution were serious, they really thought this was about making the Queen our head of state??

Most Americans (and quite frankly, most people in the majority-white Anglosphere countries) are not familiar with the distinction between the Commonwealth of Nations and Commonwealth realms. I think we can forgive some degree of ignorance on this matter.

Disgusting.

The UK wants isolation - let them have it.  Let them wallow in their own misery.  There is no reason for the USA to join that sinking ship.
