    As an american. I want the option to display it as Gulf of Mexico. Like it’s always been before that fat sack of shit was trying to win points wit hracists to distract them from the hand reaching up their ass to fuck them.

      As an American and long time OSM contributor, I also vote extremely no on Gulf of America.

      Also no on renaming New Mexico.

          Next month:

          • Texas -> Roof Tiles
          • El Paso -> The Pass
          • The Alamo -> The Poplar
          • Santa Fe -> Holy Faith
          • Nevada -> Snowed
          • Colorado -> Red
          • Palo Alto -> High Stick
          • Nogales -> Walnuts
          • Los Angeles -> The Angels

          Paper companies would make a killing profit this period.

          New Mexico? You mean “South America”, right?

          (Everything south of the Rio Grande is now “Mexico”. Except for the Panama America canal.)

          But you couldn’t tell, could you. 😂 I’m keeping this joke alive as long as I can, until Trump gets wind of it and actually does it.

      So now that is in the hands of the folks who use the OSM data. It’s in a somewhat exotic tag, so by default any map that uses OSM will still show Gulf of Mexico, unless they actively intervene to show Gulf of America. So if you see an OSM based map showing the latter, you know they made that choice consciously.
