Apologies for more trump stuff on your feed, this hurt me personally.
I was born in Alaska, and I have never heard a single person there call it mckinley, despite the vast majority of my time there having been before it was “officially” recognized as Denali.
Now this rat bastard wants to change it, despite people calling it Denali long before any name was written down for the mountain. His greed is serving to lessen our culture in the popular eye.
P.S.
I know that the federal name isn’t literally “the official name”, but I’d be surprised if this doesn’t cause a lot of people outside the state to start calling it that.
mckinley is lowercase on purpose
Edit: I want to mention that this is not entirely serious, as can be seen in me calling him a ‘rat bastard’. This is obviously false, as he grew up in a loving rat family.
ARGH
Hmm, to be fair I never heard of Denali, it was always McKinley. But I’m not from the US, so maybe that’s why I missed the name change.
As for current events: this renaming locations is obviously done out of petty reasons and in bad faith. But I guess any distraction will do for them at this point…
American here. Am old, didn’t realize it had changed.
