America has always stripped the land of its original Indigenous names. It’s had surprising climate implications.

    Give me a fucking break. It’s about shitting on native (i.e., non-white) people.

      This^ Elevating a white dude, who never went there and had no connections to the region, over a native place name with actual history and meaning.

      Inverted DEI.

      Bonus: It also offends my sensibility of naming things after people who were still alive at the time. McKinley wasn’t assassinated until 1901.

      No, it’s about restoring the history of White America to White supremacist Americans. They aren’t thinking of indigenous people at all.

    It’s about hurting people. MAGA has a hardon for cruelty. After years of being made to feel stupid (intellectual elites), ignorant (woke), backwards (progressives) their resentment has festered into a burning hatred. They want to see people hurt. They voted against their own self-interest and the future of their children and the country in exchange for the daily televised blood sport of Trump’s campaign of revenge.
