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

in reply to Kwerl • • • Public MessageComically, 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"

in reply to LifeInMultipleChoice • • • Public Message...
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.

in reply to gravitas_deficiency • • • Public MessageSo this coward you speak of agreed to allow a teenager to fire a rifle at him from 350'? And Joe Biden's USSS, who he had purged of MAGA agents, and Joe Biden's FBI (who agreed Trump was dinged by a rifle round or fragment) were in on it?
Watch him when they pull him up seconds after we hear the "all clear". He is fucking stunned. Couple of photographers angle in for a shot (lemmy tells they were in on it as well), Trump sees the first thing he understands, "Cameras on ME!", and does the fist pump.
And all those USSS agents who were demoted or fired, and both shooters, all agreed to upend their careers and lives for...?
Or we could just admit that a couple of dudes shot their shot at the most reviled man in America, possibly and all-time hatred in American politics.

No fucking way. The Republicans want this. Trump is only useful for his distraction otherwise they would have stopped musk.
Plus it gives them an incumbent to run in 2028 (if they aren’t already planning to run Trumps corpse again).

Vance does not have any of the charisma nor the following that Trump has. His ability to coalesce a ruling party is low. It's why Trump is still in power.

in reply to DarkFuture • • • Public MessageThe 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.

in reply to shalafi • • • Public MessageNo, the “vote by their feelings” people left long ago. These are the hardcore mother fuckers left supporting Republicans and MAGA.
These are the low IQ, racists, the facists, authoritarians. Some just simply won’t vote for any other party besides Republicans.
These are the people who would have still supported Hitler in the hours before he put his gun in his mouth.
These people won’t stop even when Trump is gone. They will deny, rebrand and come back again supporting the same shitty agenda.

Had a other chance and again chose the fucking neo liberal who spent 4 years accomplishing nothing. Or he did just got overturn. What really pisses me off is the asshole knew, KNEW, he had incurable cancer and still ran again. When it was clear he could not beat Trump instead of having a primary they chose to stick Harris on us that no one wanted. Yet I still voted for her. But millions just didn't vote.
Now only way out of this is the one thing the majority of Americans refuse to do. And we need millions to do this thing we are to have snowball chance in hell of fixing this problem.

Harris lost because the Democratic base was demotivated from inflation, gaza, and a media environment that convinced everyone that those help wanted posters in the windows meant unemployment was high.

in reply to vr138 • • • Public MessageHe is mentioned more than Jesus in the Bible. Trump is the New Testament of the Epstein realm. Thousands and thousands of times his name appears. There was a tracker a year or so ago that in ream time was showing the redactions hiding trumps name, DOJ activity. It started around -4,500 times rapidly dwindling daily as they tried to hide it. Not duplicate mentions, either. Individual instances of him.
Now, luckily, some valiant stewards have maintained physical and digital copies of the files that hopefully lead to far and wide repercussions for these cretins. But, this is viewed through the lens the are constantly building of doubt, AI, "fake" everything. It really does start to click what has occured and who was involved, We must never forget.
Only silver lining i have found is that a few countries in the EU have made moves, made arrests, and are actively prosecuting some of the retchid cohort. One is better than none, but it must be most/all.

English-speaking countries don't have a continent named "America." We've got seven continents - Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, North America, and South America.

But all that's besides the point. Trump is (unfortunately) an American and he's speaking to Americans. So even if it was just part of US English, he'd still have the usage right.

Either that, or we create a new "American" language that purges all words derived from other, non English, languages... So most, if not all of our current words. I don't know, maybe we just need to purge the non "white" words? What's the current opinion on Spanish peoples, does Trump consider them "white", would banana still be ok to use?
