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.

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"

Ah yes, the party of states' rights totally not telling states what to do or how to do it.

Would that make the abbreviation NA?

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

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

...

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.

Do 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
