    As a born and raised New Mexican, fuck this absolute piece of garbage, and fuck anyone who has voted or is continuing to vote for the convicted rapist and pedophile party. New Mexico is a culturally rich and diverse state, full of traditions going back hundreds, in some cases thousands, of years.

      There’s dozens of us New Mexicans here! Dozens!

      It’s such a stupid idea because even people who voted for him have New Mexican pride and wouldn’t agree with this change, it’s simply stupid

        Are there still Americans who don’t know NM is part of the US, or it that long past?

          No that’s still something you come across, not as often as it used to be. 10-15 years ago I had someone ask if they needed their passport to visit NM, which was funny because they were dead serious. I think since Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul got as popular as it did people figured out NM was a state but I cannot confirm this, it’s just my head canon.

              As a born and raised New Mexican, who now unfortunately lives in the Midwest. Nah, still happening. Got a roomful within the past two months. I blame Missouri public education.

      My wife and I love NM. We’re from shithole TX and if there isn’t a blue wave here, we would love to move.

        Hey neighbor’s neighbor! We’re in AZ, I’ve been looking fondly over at NM for a bit.
        Love visiting NM, except the mountain pass we have to go through to get there. Absolutely hate that part or we might get over more.

        We moved here from a cold state many many moons ago and Phoenix had a lot to offer for jobs. Feel like we shoulda looked harder back then. To poor now to make another move but, we will if we gotta.
