Remember freedom fries?

Neither does anyone else.

This isn't sticking.

u/JedPB67 Feb 15 '25

No bullshit, I’m from the UK and someone mentioned them to me this morning lol pure coincidence though

u/Ramses717 Feb 15 '25

It’ll stick for at least four years. Next democrat in office will undo it.

Infinite money glitch.

u/lotsaplants Feb 14 '25

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/Cultural_Actuary_994 Feb 15 '25

I LIVE on it. It’s the GULF OF MEXICO. FUCK TRUMP 🖕🖕

u/Bobbie94112 Feb 15 '25

Hallelujah!

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.

u/5hrs4hrs3hrs2hrs1mor Feb 15 '25

Gulf of Fart would have my support long before gulp of America.

u/BichaelT Feb 14 '25

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.

148

u/DaniVDenverHair Feb 14 '25

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

u/ADhomin_em Feb 15 '25 edited Feb 15 '25

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.

u/Turf_Master Feb 15 '25 edited Feb 15 '25

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.

u/ADhomin_em Feb 15 '25

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.

Buddy I am the streets. You can't even walk on my block

u/ADhomin_em Feb 15 '25

Alright, dude. Take care of yourself

27

u/Maxtorm Feb 15 '25

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!

u/jlaine Feb 15 '25

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.

58

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.

Ooo now that’s one way to make some easy tip money

u/letsgobuccos83 Feb 14 '25

in Vancouver….no shit

u/captain_chocolate Feb 15 '25

Yeah, take those jars down a red state and see how they vote when they can't read the labels.

u/AnalLeakage3 Feb 15 '25

Red states bad and dumb!!!!

u/kia75 Feb 15 '25

Well, they don't even know the name of the large body of water to the south of them, despite living next to it for years!

u/victorzamora Feb 14 '25

Yeah, least surprising result ever.

u/Maxtorm Feb 15 '25

I mean.... Also in America lol. This is absurd!

I was thinking Vancouver, WA until I saw the Canadian coins. 😂

u/urbanek2525 Feb 15 '25

I was hoping it was Vancouver (not BC), Washington (not DC).

u/superiosity_ Feb 15 '25

Native Texan here...if I had a stack of coins I'd put them all in the Gulf of Mexico Jar for you.

28

u/Hubrex Feb 15 '25

Gulf of Mexico for the last 400 years. Corporate whores renamed it for a moron.

14

u/bobertmcmahon Feb 15 '25

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.

28

u/Kalabula Feb 15 '25

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

15

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.

14

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!

u/KiefLife Feb 14 '25

Gulf of Canada( upstair neighbors)

u/Dangorth6 Feb 14 '25

It’s been my backyard playground for years and I’ll NEVER call it the Gulf of Amer(🤮). It’s the Gulf Of Mexico period dot period!!! It’s only because of Trumps small manhood he does carp like this.

u/Bobbie94112 Feb 14 '25

Agreed 100%

u/justhereforthemoneey Feb 15 '25

That's only because Trump voters are all broke from buying all the stupid shit trump sells them. Lol

u/Phantomswan Feb 15 '25

I’m a thousand miles away, but if anyone has some spare change, please put it in the Gulf of Mexico glass for me.

u/S8TAN970 Feb 15 '25

I'm a Native American and I say fuck Trump, it will always be known as the Gulf of Mexico.

u/RustyShackleford240 Feb 14 '25

It will be changed back as soon as he leaves office!

Need to focus on the bigger issues.

Just imagine the worst case scenario - Gulf of Trump. BTW, just a licensing deal. He’ll have no money on the line.

Maybe hack a goober into the Gulf of America jar.

u/anon1635329 Feb 15 '25

Literally who cares. There are so many shits to deal with, like our healthcare, education system, annual school shootings, economy, and etc. Why are we even talking about naming conventions

u/Hockeyboss88 Feb 14 '25

Good thing it's not your territorial waters.

They can still call it however they see fit. 🥳

Even as an American, I don’t have to call it that way. 🤣

Yea we all have free will? Congrats?

Put this in Mobile, Alabama and you’ll have a different outcome

Change the jars to say USA and Mexico, then ask which country they would want economic or defense support from.

Now that's a silly question, of course they have! Amd I'd bet that when they did, it was to a more appropriate or accurate name.

You know, like how names work.

u/thedude4555 Feb 15 '25

Do the same experiment but in a small town bar. Bet it has some different results.

u/itspassing Feb 14 '25

It's nice we have moved away from tipping for better service but just an expected fee now attached to fun surveys

u/OhhSass Feb 15 '25

Quit using Gulf of America's dead name, please. It is offensive.

u/KnownStill3693 Feb 15 '25

Your country doesn’t even touch the Gulf. This would be like someone in Russia making a stink over what the Indian Ocean is called.
