Do y’all think the next administration will change it back or is it a better name? Since both Mexico and the United States are in America, it’s actually more inclusive 🤔

It would be easier to just leave all the old maps as Gulf of Mexico rather than reprinting all new ones so that seems like the most likely solution

Unless we could start a campaign to rename it to Gulfy McGulf Face 😄

    This is actually a great thing.

    Not only will they change it back by issuing a superseding executive order, the broligarchs have also established a precedent of honoring executive orders, even though they are not legally compelled to do so. Very useful for future presidents.

    LOL

    They're all fucking freckles feckless hypocrites, dude.

    There's no "precedent" here and it's foolish to think they'd behave consistently under Republicans and Democrats.

    And this is even before considering the possibility of one of those parties investigating and holding them accountable (while the other is open to pardoning the same crimes). Their incentive is to not be consistent here. Why would they? Don't be naive.

    Edit: lol dumb typo

    I don’t care how many freckles they have, they have to follow their own precedent. It’s just common decency. Are you asking me to believe titans of industry, upon whose very shoulders our great economy rests, would act in an uncivilized manner?

    I’ll believe it when I see it.

    I didn’t mean to call you out or undercut your actual point, I was just turning up the feigned credulous-ness to make clearer that my first comment was tongue in cheek.

    It was thoughtless of me to make an obvious typo a part of that though, and I apologize.
