While there at it rename New York, new jersey and every other place in america named after another place.
I propose we go back to calling New York by older names - let’s call the state New Netherland and the city New Amsterdam!
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?
Why they changed it, I can’t say.
I guess people just liked it better that way.
I hope New Mexico tells him to stfu.

Eventually, yes.
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
After 3 elections people were still dumb enough to believe his lies.
thats the prime target of criminals
Unfortunately you’ve all decided to let him actually run the country while you sit around waiting for your next opportunity to vote for a president, so we don’t actually have the luxury of ignoring his specious edicts because some of them do materially affect our lives.

I vote “New Murrica”
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.
My wife and I love NM. We’re from shithole TX and if there isn’t a blue wave here, we would love to move.
it seems like the gop is getting ready to rig the machines again.
Hey neighbor’s neighbor! We’re in AZ, I’ve been looking fondly over at NM for a bit.
Love visiting NM, except the mountain pass we have to go through to get there. Absolutely hate that part or we might get over more.We moved here from a cold state many many moons ago and Phoenix had a lot to offer for jobs. Feel like we shoulda looked harder back then. To poor now to make another move but, we will if we gotta.
Hey, buddy. I think you meant to type “New America”
Y’all motherfuckers be… enchanting…
God dam, hit em where it hurts. Brutal
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
Are there still Americans who don’t know NM is part of the US, or it that long past?
No that’s still something you come across, not as often as it used to be. 10-15 years ago I had someone ask if they needed their passport to visit NM, which was funny because they were dead serious. I think since Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul got as popular as it did people figured out NM was a state but I cannot confirm this, it’s just my head canon.
Thanks! I hadn’t heard such a story for some time so I wondered.
As a born and raised New Mexican, who now unfortunately lives in the Midwest. Nah, still happening. Got a roomful within the past two months. I blame Missouri public education.
Why is he still alive?
stress ain’t catching up to him
yet
most presidents are affected by stress because they’re actually doing the fucking job, not just alternating pep rallies and golf
That’s irrelevant. Why is he still president should be the question.
Once he’s dead, tell me it’s irrelevant
If he dies in office, Just Defiled a couch Vance and Peter Fucking Thiel take over.
So not let perfection be the enemy of good.
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.
The bigger issue as I see it is that Trump wants to rule by charisma first. I don’t think Vance particularly gives a shit if people curse his name - meaning that, at the first sign of things getting out of hand, I think he’s more willing to hit the “start killing protestors until the streets are red” button.
Vance has no charisma and he knows it. He is an empty vessel made by Peter Thiel and others.
Vance is a proxy for Thiel
With no charisma or leverage to get anything extreme done. It isn’t their daughter in law that controls the GOP and is able to fund primary challengers.
You think they’d impeach the younger smarter asshole who wants to hurt their enemies?
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).
They’d be morons to run Vance in 2028. As sitting VP he can’t fill a high school auditorium.
The ultraconservative cabal behind his back who wants their schemes signed and greenlit. They have to keep their puppet alive.
Nobody has the stones to do anything about it
Even Death is like “Nah, thanks”
Think of it from Death’s point of view.
He spares this one guy for a while, and in return, that one guy does his job for him, for free.
Death took Dolly before him.
death took the last pope , and is trying to take the current one too.
One guy did, but he didn’t practice enough first.
That was staged. So. Fucking. Staged.
Hey, they tried. Twice. And once legally, not physically.
Eh. Honestly, I think it’s pretty likely both incidents in which someone got “close” were probably false-flags. Orangeboi is a complete coward. I genuinely think he’d piss his pants and run away screaming if it was a real attempt on his life. There are a number of very suspicious points to the rally event in particular.
So 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.
Sure they do! They just have shitty aim is all
We are lost
The french are protesting against education funding. And americans wont get off the couch to rescue their own country.
Mobs are easier to form when your entire country is the size of a single US state and everyone who wants to participate in the country is within a day of driving to the same location. Your people aren’t less willing to be fucked over by the government. It’s just easier for the small percentage of you who will riot to meet up.
And most countries don’t have a police force more heavily armed than a small country’s military.
Decades of no accountability and poor hiring practices have made the police thugs against their citizen peers. Funded by the have nots, while protecting the haves and themselves.
Because apparently no one in this godforsaken shithole of a country can aim properly.
Lmfao holy shit. This is wild.
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
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.
Mexico made a power move naming itself, knowing New Mexico already existed. “They might be ‘new’ but we’re the og.”
I legitimately saw this news floating around earlier and just assumed it was a parody article…
Parody becomes news surprisingly fast these days
He had joined towards it in the past.
NM Republican
legislatorssubmissives passing legislation in 3…2…“Regressives.” Don’t be associating subs with that trash.
New England change too?
New York to New Washington.
New Epstein
This is way better
Well next he’s going to ask Texas to rename itself to “Exxon-Mobile”, Tennessee to “I swear we helped build the nuclear bombs” and Florida to “We fucked up and killed all our Oranges”. Because names of Native Americans and Hispanics can’t sit well with his voters
I can’t wait for Colorado to just be called Red !
Aladeen type shit
Then obviously Mexico has to change its name to ‘America’.
Then they would be the United America States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico
Lets rename New Mexico to release the Epstein files instead
trump files
