Calling it already, all Spanish names of towns and states will be forcefully translated to English. Prepare for Snowy, Tiles, Flowery, Aridzone and Caliphornia to be really peeved about this

South America, Colored

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.

Vance is a proxy for Thiel

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"

Mexico made a power move naming itself, knowing New Mexico already existed. "They might be 'new' but we're the og."

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 !

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.

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.

He only has room in his head for like 10 words at a time. That's why he thinks remembering 5 in cognitive tests is a huge victory. It takes half his brain! And the other half is "America" "golf" "China" and "besty Putin."

Anyone who supports him to the end should have a permanent black mark against them. Treat them like this regime treats ICC judges. No government jobs or funding, no executive level positions, no top secret clearance, nothing that requires some level of trust. That's my compromise.

The shortage of lube. Trump used it all for preparing America's behind for Putin.

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.

Remember when we dismissed one of, if not the most, progressive president in our lifetime because he was old and "senile"?

And traded him out for whatever the rapist fuck this is.

The 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.

At some point he was told patriotism or some like thing polls well and his dementia addled brain locked onto it. On some level he understands he's dying, wants to leave his mark and can't get away with naming everything Trump as he's done his whole life, so "America" it is.
