And that’s basically it!
I actually don't have anything positive to say about America.
I guess I can say it's better than China and Russia for a big country. And it's nice that it's big and people can travel between so many states too, each with slightly different culture.
China is barely smaller than the US, and what you think is a unified Chinese language is actually a bunch of mutually unintelligible languages in a trench coat.
The cultural differences between regions in the US are usually much smaller than ones in China.
The most obvious examples of this are the regions of Xinjiang and Tibet.
I admit I don't know much about China, so thank you.
Is it better? I mean, at least China makes a a crapload of stuff. What does America export besides entertainment and bombs?
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.
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
Sigh, of fucking course he did. Anyways, the capital of Ohio would love to change its name, but I'm sure if they tried he'd be ranting about keeping historical names for American places.
Edit: there's only one state that's actually worth renaming and that's Washington, solely because sharing a name with the country's capital results in confusion more often than you'd like, and I swear to shit it better not be renamed to America.
Saw a map earlier with Albuquerque renamed Charliequerque lol

Gulf of America, lake America, new America? Just how uncreative is this motherfucker?
Everything is about saying he named it. Dude wants to claim he created God.
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."
Took him long enough
Why is he still alive?
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
Wasn't this just an Onion article like a couple months ago, and now it's on Nottheonion?
Whilst he's at it, changing Burger King to Burger Queen is also in need of consideration.
Would this be better if this got renamed to "New Mexico calls on Trump to change his name to 'Epstein Traitor' | CNN Politics"?
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"
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.
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.
Were all the other empires throughout history this fucking retarded?
Eventually, yes.
USA's patriots are from New-Englang btw.
Make every state add "of America" to its' name and be done with it. Then we can move on to renaming every county, city, town, suburb, village, and burg.
South ~~Park~~ America got ahead of that.
What a lousy POS. I'm going to throw in the age old question, "Where are the damn Epstein Files?"
Dude will talk about ANYTHING except the Epstein files.
While there at it rename New York, new jersey and every other place in america named after another place.
vreaking: President Donald Trump will now be known as "President Donamerica America"
Trump is a freak. People who like him are weirdos. Enough said.
I cannot wait until this fucker is gone. The arrowhead of American failure was carved by people like Donald Trump.
new epstein phelia.
