          No, half the country voted for this. Or failed to vote against it.

            A large portion of the country didn’t vote actually, but I don’t fully blame those who did, American nationalism propaganda works

              Pew Research found that even if 100% of eligible voters had voted, Trump would still have been elected, unfortunately: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/26/behind-trumps-2024-victory-a-more-racially-and-ethnically-diverse-voter-coalition/

                US sure has a shitty election system. It has nothing to do with democracy, but that is of course by design.

          It’s the country. Those who didn’t vote actively for it are giving their tacit approval every day.

            That’s easy to say from outside looking in. But Canada was only a 3% vote away from fascism. So laugh it up while you , because you’re next

      A draft dodger removing the name of a political martyr from a naval warship is EXACTLY what I had on my Fucked Up Bingo Card of 2025.

      The cowardice of them is remarkable. Harvey wouldn’t have liked the direction america is going, but he’d sure be proud to know erasing his name wasn’t possible in any other manner than covertl, lay-low operation. Yep, Harvey, they were afraid to single you out now, that’s an achivement we got after you died, but, depressingly enough, it seems we’d roll all of that back to the times and challenges you’ve faced.

      Oh wow, we definitely didn’t intentionally mean to always just change the one and called it a project so people wouldn’t care as much when our intention was to always stop at just Harvey

      Question for the sailors out there: if they change the name back will that uncurse it or make it twice as cursed, since the name was changed twice?
