Here in the US, I also would make fun of people for calling it "Gulf of America". Its still the Gulf of Mexico.

The only people I've heard talk about, have only ever been making fun of it (to help ease the pain we are in, and will continue to be under this presidency).

Edit: Wtf phone? Hears tall? From heard talk? Eh, fixed.

I wish that were the case. The hordes of smarmy, self-satisfied toad brains around me happily giggle and grin as they say gulf of america. Being in an area where you're part of the minority of individuals able to look at more than a two month window of time before and after the present really sucks.

I get it. I'm in a blue state, in a blue town, surrounded by purple rural - plenty of maga muppets about in the surrounding area, but none I've interacted with that I've heard anything about the gulf.

I am sad to tell, but this will last for generations. This is not just Trump. This is the the result of people ellecting Trump and letting him do whatever he wants. The world is losing faith on the American people, not just its leaders. It is after all (still) a democracy.

Oh I'm well aware it will take generations to fix, as of now though this is the administration making things worse and the immediate concern.

It is, unfortunately, not a democracy when the rule of law is ignored, which is the case right now.
