The media hysteria is certainly fun to watch.

I especially do not like changing the name of a real person who was honored, like Mt. McKinley. It is a historic snapshot of what people were thinking at the time of the naming, and ought not go down the memory hole as well as to not play Indian Giver with an honor that is supposed to be permanant. (Exceptions made for undoing name changes like Stalingrad and Cape Kennedy).

I attended a Catholic seminary in the town of Cromwell, Connecticut. Catholics abhor Cromwell, but it never occurred to me to lobby to change the name.

Ever since Adam’s name (ground, soil, earth) and Eve (life), names are symbolic and have deeper meanings and messages.

Liberals are the masters of using symbols and names to great effect.

Trump is just adopting.

I saw a meme with President Trump renaming Ontario to Dontario. That one I like.

They won’t even be footnotes in history. They’re pure idiotic masturbation on his part. He didn’t even actually change anything’s name. He basically just declared “Murca gonna call this differnt” and it’ll all be undone 5 minutes after he’s out of office.
