It’s a privilege for people to demand to be listen. Fuck you, Barbie standing on the stand. Who the fuck did you blow to get your job?

The AP reports in lots of countries not just the US, we are the only ones calling it "Gulf of America", the rest of the world is still going to call it Gulf of Mexico. So the Associatef Press is using language that makes their reporting understood to the widest number of people. The fact that Trump and MAGA don't seem to comprehend this very simple idea this tells me all I need to know.

Lefties were calling this dead naming just a few months ago. It's hate speech remember...

"cult of personality" is a real thing, and humans are not exactly evolved to maximize critical thinking and skepticism.

AP is very middle of the road, about as center and unbiased as you can get.

You may have to elaborate on the point you're trying to make. Lefties were not joking about dead naming.

Dead naming applies to people, are geographic features on a map people?

Only for those that spread the Trump regime propaganda.

Lol, you're right. Like most ridiculous things lefties insist upon, it's a privilege afforded only to trans people. It even says as much on Wikipedia: "Deadnaming is the act of calling a transgender or non-binary person by their birth name" And so you're right. Continuing to call it the Gulf of Mexico isn't dead naming, it's just stubborn and ignorant, and factually incorrect. Or at least it would be if lefties applied their rules equally to all. If you've ever accidentally called a place by it's old fashioned westernised name instead of its fancy new indigenous one, you'll know what I mean.
If Trump were a dictator, the left wouldn’t be able to say all the stupid shot they say. You are free to be dumb. Enjoy it. 👊🏻🍻🧡

Oh well, they've got a choice to make then don't they? They can keep calling it the wrong name so everyone knows what they're talking about, and be barred from the Whitehouse like NYPost was by Biden for correctly reporting on Hunter's laptop, or they can call it the right name and risk confusing a few people.
The precedent of banning reports because you don't like what they print was set by President Clinton.
Also, fuck white house press privileges. It's the Gulf of Texas. image

my best guess is creating unimportant shit for people to squabble over so they don't have as much bandwidth to notice or discuss the important things

You got upset because you can't deadname "geographic features on a map" and then compare changing the name of geographic features on a map to invented personal pronouns via a meme... You're right tho, personal pronouns are ridiculous, but we had to put up with that bullshit or it was a hate crime, and now hypocritical lefties are having a cry when someone does the exact same thing to them. Thanks for reiterating my original point tho.
