Lauren Boebert is at it again, folks, and this time she’s suggesting we rename the nation’s capital from the District of Columbia to the “District of America” – because, you know, the current name is just too… Columbian? (What’s next, renaming the Colombian coffee to “American coffee”?).
And don’t even get me started on the Gulf of America – I mean, come on, who needs geographical accuracy when you can just make up new names for things? But seriously, can someone please explain to me what’s going on here? Is this some kind of twisted game of “let’s rename everything to sound more patriotic”?
But wait, it gets better – some people are wondering if Boebert thinks the District of Columbia is named after the country of Colombia, rather than Christopher Columbus ( spoilers: it’s the latter). And then there’s the theory that MAGA is against Columbus now – because, you know, he’s just too… woke? (Can someone please keep up with the latest conspiracy theories for me?).
And what’s with the comment about Christopher Columbus being “woke now”? Is this some kind of joke? But in all seriousness, can we please just stick to the facts here? The District of Columbia is named after Christopher Columbus, not the country of Colombia – and definitely not because of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s demands to rename the Gulf of Mexico.
But, I guess that’s the world we live in now – where facts don’t matter, and we can just rename everything to fit our own twisted narratives. So, go ahead and buy your District of America maps now, before they’re all gone (just kidding, please don’t do that). And while you’re at it, maybe pick up a cup of Colombian coffee to go with your “District of America” merchandise – because, you know, irony.
In conclusion (if you can even call it that), Lauren Boebert’s suggestion to rename the District of Columbia to the “District of America” is… well, it’s just another day in the world of politics, folks. So, buckle up, and let’s see what other renaming shenanigans we can expect in the future. And remember, if you’re feeling confused, just buy a map – or two, or three… because, you know, the world is just one big, messy renaming project now.
