This is pathetic and reeks of insecurity big time. Hope that this debacle improves your QoL, Americans.

What's funny is the rest of the world gets "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" which ups the insecurity I expect.

Seems like all the high-visibility, internet-focused corporations are rushing forward to bend the knee.

I guess it would be pretty interesting to see one of them do the opposite. As in, how easily and quickly would the exec and other branches be able to attack them, maybe even to destroy them?

I just did literally the only thing I CAN do, which is rate it 1 star and call out their spinelessness. I'm sure this token, irrelevant act will be ignored at best or manually removed at worst. But until they drag me off to the gulag I'm absolutely not going to shut up and play along.

Fuck Trump, Musk, their MAGA cult, and anyone who enables or colludes with them or fails to fight back.

Mexico should rename "America"

Divided States of America

because that's what it really is

You mean Estados Unidos ? In Spanish, 'America' already refers to the north and south continents, not to the USA

Poop. I was hoping I could leave a review but can't

I will continue deadnaming the gulf with the name assigned at birth. It's just going through a phase.

Look at this, even Australia is laughing at us from the other side of the globe!
