this seems bad because the enforcement here actually protects US firms from **extortion**, right? "we'd love to pay you but we will literally go to jail if we do that so. sorry" but i'm open to other interpretations from subject matter experts. is there a case for this? x.com/unusual_whales…

The media won’t tell you, and woke liberals are clueless: Trump’s roaring comeback is driven by everyday Americans fed up with soaring bills, not obsessed about a dozen genders or the right to a transgender bathroom. #AbookThatChangesEverything #TrumpWon

This is part of the MAGA paradox. Their elected officials continue to get elected despite voting against the wishes of their constituents on some significant issues.

I personally hate superficial change--names, categorization, etc. If you want to change something, it must offer tangible benefits via policy outcomes, scientific understanding, etc. Otherwise, you're just making my world more complicated (and I think this feeling is common).

There’s lots of confusing results from polling, take the NYT poll from a month ago with 3 differently worded questions on immigration that all effectively amount to 10’s of millions being deported

It's a Shibboleth. The only time ive heard anyone use it in real life use Gulf of America was the boomer Maga coworker using it over and over about her trip to try and see who would say anything about it to her. Everyone basically just ignored her lol

My guess is that the Gulf of America is the kind of stuff that "polls" much better among people who do not tend to respond to polls.

I'm sure every region has its version of NYers still calling it the Battery Tunnel and other things by names that were officially changed decades ago. It's pointless and annoying.

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt

@debeehr

Eh, I’m not. It's an unnecessary change, solves no problems, fixes nothing, and requires people to change a mental habit for no good reason. It's kinda in the same league as “Latinx” although admittedly less annoying.

Well think about it - if you’re down there on the coast, Gulf of Mexico sounds a little exotic. Gulf of America sounds like your trailer’s about to be torn apart by MAGA flags during a hurrinado or some shit. Also, many GOP voters are bad enough at geography as it stands.

That's because it's wasteful and petty and stupid. People want Donald Trump to focus on the good things that they put him in office for and not dog and pony crap or personal grievances.

It’s an unbelievably petty and juvenile idea. No American politician has ever proposed this. Not even English colonizers fighting the Spanish in Florida, circa early 1700s, suggested changing the name of the Gulf

William Jennings Bryan

@realWJBryan

Regarding the first poll question on the screenshot, please correct me if I'm wrong, but the Biden order which Trump rescinded merely required gov't employees to sign a pledge that they wouldn't take gifts, but didn't actually ban them from doing it (i.e. mandate their firing).
