    Would this be better if this got renamed to “New Mexico calls on Trump to change his name to ‘Epstein Traitor’ | CNN Politics”?

    Sigh, of fucking course he did. Anyways, the capital of Ohio would love to change its name, but I’m sure if they tried he’d be ranting about keeping historical names for American places.

    Edit: there’s only one state that’s actually worth renaming and that’s Washington, solely because sharing a name with the country’s capital results in confusion more often than you’d like, and I swear to shit it better not be renamed to America.

      I actually don’t have anything positive to say about America.

      I guess I can say it’s better than China and Russia for a big country. And it’s nice that it’s big and people can travel between so many states too, each with slightly different culture.

        China is barely smaller than the US, and what you think is a unified Chinese language is actually a bunch of mutually unintelligible languages in a trench coat.

        The cultural differences between regions in the US are usually much smaller than ones in China.

        The most obvious examples of this are the regions of Xinjiang and Tibet.

        Is it better? I mean, at least China makes a a crapload of stuff. What does America export besides entertainment and bombs?

      Unfortunately you’ve all decided to let him actually run the country while you sit around waiting for your next opportunity to vote for a president, so we don’t actually have the luxury of ignoring his specious edicts because some of them do materially affect our lives.

    Make every state add “of America” to its’ name and be done with it. Then we can move on to renaming every county, city, town, suburb, village, and burg.

    As a born and raised New Mexican, fuck this absolute piece of garbage, and fuck anyone who has voted or is continuing to vote for the convicted rapist and pedophile party. New Mexico is a culturally rich and diverse state, full of traditions going back hundreds, in some cases thousands, of years.

      There’s dozens of us New Mexicans here! Dozens!

      It’s such a stupid idea because even people who voted for him have New Mexican pride and wouldn’t agree with this change, it’s simply stupid

        Are there still Americans who don’t know NM is part of the US, or it that long past?

          No that’s still something you come across, not as often as it used to be. 10-15 years ago I had someone ask if they needed their passport to visit NM, which was funny because they were dead serious. I think since Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul got as popular as it did people figured out NM was a state but I cannot confirm this, it’s just my head canon.

              As a born and raised New Mexican, who now unfortunately lives in the Midwest. Nah, still happening. Got a roomful within the past two months. I blame Missouri public education.

        Hey neighbor’s neighbor! We’re in AZ, I’ve been looking fondly over at NM for a bit.
        Love visiting NM, except the mountain pass we have to go through to get there. Absolutely hate that part or we might get over more.

        We moved here from a cold state many many moons ago and Phoenix had a lot to offer for jobs. Feel like we shoulda looked harder back then. To poor now to make another move but, we will if we gotta.
