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

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."

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.

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.

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.

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"?

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.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

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.
