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.
Y’all motherfuckers be… enchanting…
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

'America' is becoming a slur.
Saw a map earlier with Albuquerque renamed Charliequerque lol

Why is he still alive?
Nobody has the stones to do anything about it
Even Death is like "Nah, thanks"
Midterms in 14 days, everyone.
Gulf of America, lake America, new America? Just how uncreative is this motherfucker?
Everything is about saying he named it. Dude wants to claim he created God.
He only has room in his head for like 10 words at a time. That's why he thinks remembering 5 in cognitive tests is a huge victory. It takes half his brain! And the other half is "America" "golf" "China" and "besty Putin."
Lets rename New Mexico to release the Epstein files instead
Wasn't this just an Onion article like a couple months ago, and now it's on Nottheonion?
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.
Comically, New Mexico acquired its name long before "New Spain" became Mexico. Apparently New Mexico predates Mexico. (By a decent while too).
Edit ended up reading the article, it is listed in the article further down as well "New Mexico’s name predates the founding of the United States back to the 16th century"
Apparently New Mexico predates Mexico. (By a decent while too).
...
New Mexico predates the modern country of Mexico, yes.
But when Spanish Conquistadors first reached the Valle de Mexico, in the 1520s, it was the most densely populated urban area on the planet at over a million people.
That's why New Mexico includes "new", because it wasn't the original.
we do not yet have a president. the guy claiming the title is a mob boss that stole it from us, feel free to ignore his specious edicts
There are no adults coming to save us. It won't even be that surprising if this ends up happening. Certainly not becausw it makes a shred of sense, just because this timeline is satire.
Took him long enough
"New America" doesn't even make sense. It is IN America, you dolt!
Were all the other empires throughout history this fucking retarded?
Eventually, yes.
Dude will talk about ANYTHING except the Epstein files.
Trump is a freak. People who like him are weirdos. Enough said.
I cannot wait until this fucker is gone. The arrowhead of American failure was carved by people like Donald Trump.
What a lousy POS. I'm going to throw in the age old question, "Where are the damn Epstein Files?"
You mean the Trump-Epstein Files?
I legitimately saw this news floating around earlier and just assumed it was a parody article...
Calling it already, all Spanish names of towns and states will be forcefully translated to English. Prepare for Snowy, Tiles, Flowery, Aridzone and Caliphornia to be really peeved about this
Whilst he's at it, changing Burger King to Burger Queen is also in need of consideration.
Would this be better if this got renamed to "New Mexico calls on Trump to change his name to 'Epstein Traitor' | CNN Politics"?
NM Republican ~~legislators~~ submissives passing legislation in 3...2...
Stop these ideas. America means the whole continent not USA. Trump just does not get what he is saying.
United Scammers and Assholes
While there at it rename New York, new jersey and every other place in america named after another place.
Remember when we dismissed one of, if not the most, progressive president in our lifetime because he was old and "senile"?
And traded him out for whatever the rapist fuck this is.
The ignorance in America is too vast to describe without sounding like hyperbole.
Said something about Trump's dementia to a good friend last week, "Yeah, but Biden was pretty bad too wasn't he?"
There are exactly two people on my street that understand current events, both old black folks. My young black friend (above) and the white people of all ages are clueless. My Asian wife only knows about Trump through me and her friends and family back home who now hate him over gas prices. (See chart)
There's a monster chunk of our population that votes on vibes and how their personal life is going. Trump's 30% approval? That's not MAGA, that's the politically disconnected.
