Trump federally renames Alaska's Mt. Denali to mount mckinley, despite the objections from everyone who actually lives there (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Apologies for more trump stuff on your feed, this hurt me personally.

I was born in Alaska, and I have never heard a single person there call it mckinley, despite the vast majority of my time there having been before it was "officially" recognized as Denali.

Now this rat bastard wants to change it, despite people calling it Denali long before any name was written down for the mountain. His greed is serving to lessen our culture in the popular eye.

P.S.

I know that the federal name isn't literally "the official name", but I'd be surprised if this doesn't cause a lot of people outside the state to start calling it that.

mckinley is lowercase on purpose

Edit: I want to mention that this is not entirely serious, as can be seen in me calling him a 'rat bastard'. This is obviously false, as he grew up in a loving rat family.

ARGH

Well, your state still decided to guzzle his balls anyway. And seriously? Of all the shit, THIS was the one? Not the LGBT discrimination, the blanket pardon of ALL the J6 traitors, the attempted removal of birthright citizenship, the mass deportation orders...I could go on...but the name of something impacts NO ONE. Sorry, but this is like #999 on the priority list

Distracting from the fact he will only raise inflation and by extension all prices

It's not a top issue, but it's super easy to make trump's toddlerishness ineffective.

You just use the correct name, Denali. This isn't a tough one. Denali needs to get said more times than some other propaganda name. That's all. Its name is Denali, so Denali us what we say.

Same with Gulf of Mexico. Fascists easily defeated on one minor front by people just saying correct things.
