Apple deadnamed the Gulf of America and conservatives are triggered
Tech companies aren’t moving fast enough for America’s most sensitive politicians.
Summary
Rep. Dan Crenshaw criticized Apple Maps for not renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, as mandated by Trump’s recent executive order titled “Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness.”
Crenshaw’s complaint reflects broader conservative frustration, as tech platforms and the global community continue to use the original name.
Critics compare the move to past nationalist gestures like renaming french fries "freedom fries," accusing conservatives of embracing identity politics and culture wars despite their political dominance.
The name change is unlikely to gain international traction.
You're viewing a single thread.
Should list it as "Gulf of Cuba" and watch their heads explode.
Alternatively, call it the Gulf of Texas and grab some popcorn for the infighting.
Honestly that makes more sense than Gulf of America because at least it is a bit more descriptive. Looking forward to Mexico renaming Gulf of California next.
Mexico has two states named Baja California and California Sur at the gulf of California.
If anything California should be renamed to something less Mexican like Triumphia. Renaming the major cities to City of Angels, Saint Francis, Saint Joseph, Sacrament, Saint Doug, Ash Tree would then follow suit.
Nah this is Republicans, they'd rename California to Reagan.
Try that shit and see how fast a Californian will kill someone over it.
It's also known as the Sea of Cortez
Thanks for the idea. I'm doing an edit on Apple maps to suggest that. 😈
