I think it's telling that someone thinks that a)this was a democratic decision and b)that even if that were so, that the people of the United States get to change international bodies of water names at will.

This is one of the reasons I've listen to On the Media for at least a decade. It's so helpful to have listened to journalism critiques and praise when earned. ✌️
It's one thing to go along with something like Russia's fake border claims (for products in that country) so that employees of yours that are there don't get arrested, but nobody is going to get arrested for ignoring *this* idiocy, so why even play along?
What is hilarious about this whole fiasco is that only Americans logging on from American ISPs are the ones affected by this change.
The rest of the world barely has a footnote about a change.
I think the whole "Gulf of America" thing is ridiculous (because, duh, it is), but countries have had names for things that aren't the same as others' names for those same things forever. Germans call their homeland 𝘋𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥, for instance, while most other countries don't call it that...1/2
or even anything derivative of that. Swedes call the Baltic Sea 𝘖̈𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘫𝘰̈𝘯 ("The Eastern Sea"), and nobody cares. Of course, I'll continue to call the Gulf of Mexico by that name, because changing it is stupid.
Like every other man (especially old white men), he thinks everything he sees is his to do with what he wants. The gulf is not owned by the United States.
Voter i.d. after registration is unnecessary since few undocumented migrants try to vote. It does hurts legal voters - such as the majority of married women who change their names and then have difficulty obtaining a passport since birth certificate doesn't match current identity.
As was stated, accepting illegal bullshit like this signals your willingness to accept whatever else they want you to do. It's a loyalty test. You want to soft bow the knee to fascists, start with stuff like this while making statements about it not hurting anyone.

Intersex people exist, trans people exist.
Any obsession with sexual binary is a result of mentally ill religious ideology coming from a Bible sky daddy.
