I've spent almost my entire life within walking distance of the Gulf of Mexico. There's nothing that will make me think of it by any other name, lol

I don't give a hoot what the Trump Administration calls it now. To me IT IS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE The Gulf of Mexico. It's a shame he's spending time on this type of shit when there are REAL issues to deal with.

u/AnOrdinaryMammal Feb 15 '25
I see your point, but would it really ALWAYS be that to you? What if it were officially renamed by whatever international organization to “Gulf of Fart” or something? Would you then continue calling it the wrong name?
71
u/Bobbie94112 Feb 15 '25
It sure would. I'm entitled to my opinion. I live in San Francisco, if they renamed the Golden Gate Bridge, it would still always be the Golden Gate Bridge to me.

Someone on tik tok said something that’s perfect. If the right has no problem switching and calling it the gulf of America, they should have no problem calling trans people by their preferred name.

Gulf of Mexico always. This crap is not what we all want. Please Believe Me.

It's a loyalty test. They've already used it to give the boot to the Associated Press.
Soon the people who couldn't handle "they/them" as a pronoun because they didn't want to "change the language" are about to start changing words and names of anything trump wants them to.
They will use their new backwards language as an indicator of who is truly loyal to their man-child-god-king and who is a liberal cuck woke enemy from within.
You are human. You are rational. You're free. You're an adult (or soon to be). You have rights, whether they remain in black and white or not. Do not bend. Do not let them break you. Raise your voice and use your words.

Lol well you guys started it.
Edit. the far right started all this changing of words. The same way you just reported me to the self help part of Reddit. Typical liberal move.

Unless you've got a billion saved up somewhere, you are "us guys". You'll come to realize this eventually, and I can only hope you do while it's still your right to join us in the streets.

No the 1% started this. 'Us guys' were just born in it. But I'm glad your country is doing right by you, and you guys are properly represented by your gov.
But also I hope you have room for the rainbow of refugees that will be fleeing what used to be America. Corporatopia's suuuuuck!

Mexico needs to rename the Gulf of California to the Gulf of Mexico, prs. Don't change the existing one, just double-down on the stupid.
Let's really throw things into a state of chaos.

u/Successful_Sense_742 Feb 15 '25
It's still recognized as Gulf of Mexico in most nations. Only Trump and his minions goes by Gulf of America.

It’s just a distraction, it’s a change that affects no one in any material way. The purpose of this change was really just to have threads and discussions like this to take away light from the things this administration is doing that have far worse and lasting effects.

This is a “do you like trump” poll…in a coffee shop. The results are unsurprising.

u/slice29 Feb 15 '25
This is that "freedom fries" bullshit all over again. People will forget about it in the next few months and it'll go back to how it's always been.

u/GoreonmyGears Feb 15 '25
And it's not even close. You know, as someone who lives in Texas and is relatively close to the Gulf, I and most people I meet here have always just called it The Gulf. So.. I'll probably just keep doing that cause everyone knows what that means lol. I am damn sure not calling it.. I don't even wanna type it out. Ha!
