The renaming of the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America" has nothing to do with projecting dominance or even conveying meaning. It is more like Stalinist propaganda. That was not about convincing anyone either, but about dividing people into groups. Those who repeat it – they are "your people." Those who protest against it – they are the ones you need to deal with. Those who say nothing – they don’t matter; they will stay silent on other things as well.
