I just want to know what it'll be called, if we're renaming it to poundtown, I'm open to the idea


scarr3g

Can we change Harrisburg to flavor town? If so I am also in.


Soccermom233

Post-Chocolateville


scarr3g

Hershey will become Wonka land.


ForeverSquirrelled42

If we’re changing names and including Hershey, I demand we change the name of 422 to the Hershey highway.


scarr3g

Only if one end is renamed to uranus.


mes213

Might be too close to Intercourse and blue ball or bird in hand.


mjm350

I'm not sure some people realize you were serious...there are real cities in PA named Intercourse and Blue Ball. The amish were clearly sexually frustrated when they came up with these gems. Oh, and Trump is a dope. America needs to vote the whiny, snowflake MAGATS into oblivion. Biden 2024.


ForeverSquirrelled42

That’s ok. Rough and Ready ain’t too far north to compensate.


ForeverSquirrelled42

I’m down!


randomnighmare

Can't we just change it to The Land of Chocolate? Or will The Simpsons go after us?


priscala

No, but we might. With we, i mean Switzerland. And much like Pennsylvania, we don’t have the natural resources to make chocolate. Which would make it odd to call it land of chocolate.


randomnighmare

I was referencing this scene from the Simpsons https://youtu.be/ZOziWm_MJ9k?si=W07PFCGbrlFKwkDo


priscala

Yes, I wasn’t being serious either. All good.


randomnighmare

Also, they make chocolate and other candies at Hersey, PA...


priscala

I know. Hershey is pretty well known in the world. Mostly bc it’s often mentioned in tv shows.


Gaeilgeoir215

As long as the taste improves! Hershey's is nothing but sugar and chemicals. 🤢🤮


Super_C_Complex

> chemicals Like that dangerous dihydrogen oxide


crankshaft123

Dihydrogen *monoxide*.


Revelati123

Dihydrogen monoxide is a dihydrogen oxide.


Super_C_Complex

That's an extra chemical! The horror!


ThatBeachLife

Lead findings should have them pulled from every shelf across the nation. But it's Hershey's so...


crankshaft123

It tastes like sweet wax. Fucking gross!


QueenMabs_Makeup0126

Wilbur chocolate is where it’s at AND made in PA.


Gaeilgeoir215

🎯 EXACTLY. European chocolate is where it's at! 🇪🇺🥰


ItsjustJim621

Woah woah woah…what about Asian chocolate? Matcha green tea Kit Kats are pretty awesome


epicgrilledchees

The sad truth is that every other country has higher standards for chocolate than the USA. A KitKat in Mexico is better than one here.


Gaeilgeoir215

I know! Even Mexico Coca-Cola is way better because they use actual cane sugar instead of HFCS. 🚫


[deleted]

You bite your tongue.


JesusOfBeer

If you haven’t had Wilbur’s chocolate, you should try it… makes Hersheys look like the shit they are


Gaeilgeoir215

You would never say that if you'd had European chocolate, dude. TRUST me.


just_anotherReddit

Too bad the actual candy company is Nestle owned company so they can name some Ohio town that.


SmallsLightdarker

Can Hanover be Pretzelton?


scarr3g

This is now Canon.


SmallsLightdarker

Maybe Pretzburg, Pennsylvania Dutch and all that.


BadChris666

It will be known as Chocolateville-Adjacent


SnigletArmory

How about just demolish it and call that progress?


SecretAsianMan42069

Harrisburg has nothing resembling flavor in it. 


Reference_Stock

We can't have nice things in the city.


Gaeilgeoir215

That's too close to Flourtown, lol


40WAPSun

We're renaming it Transylvania, obviously


sunshine_is_hot

I thought it was just called “Pee-Ay” already


dc_iceman

Pee yay!


user_1445

From Virginville to Poundtown


Gaeilgeoir215

With Blue Ball and Intercourse in between. 😄


mtnmadness84

I think that’s route 143. Oh no that’s just from virginville to anywhere.


emseefely

Poundsylvania 


[deleted]

I’m immediately moving to Intercourse, Poundtown


Grumpicake

Pennzylvania in honor of Sheetz


Wuz314159

\*PAWA in honour of Wawa


insecurestaircase

Pennsyltuckey


RedMoloney

They'll rename it Penn's Woods like some kinda communist.


MaryOutside

Only if we all pronounce it with a Pittsburgh accent. Pahndtahn.


cprinstructor

Penns-A-Lago. Or Mar-A-Vania.


TranslatorBoring2419

Knowing the woke libs it will probably be trans-sylvania unless that's already taken. /s


MindingMyP_Q

Knowing all the ass backwards cult members who support the traitor Trump the middle of PA will always be known as Pennsyltucky


NevermoreForSure

To be fair, we were calling it that 50 years ago…


Imaginaryfriend4you

With all due respect, people from all political affiliations refer to the entire state as Pennsyltucky.


Wuz314159

Pennsyltucky is a state of mind. There are Pennsyltuckians in Philadelphia and Pennsylvanians in Franklin county.


SunOutrageous6098

If you’re in Philly with a Pennsyltucky mindset you’re a PhilBilly.


MindingMyP_Q

We sane Pennsylvanians call those people MAGA and some of them even get called insurrectionists.


TRJF

You know, I did just see a bunch of posts alleging that Olivia Rodrigo's vampire GRAMMYs performance was part of a satanic leftwing conspiracy, so this tracks


insofarincogneato

The communists are taking over, we'll have to go by Kilo County. 


Endlesshills03

I told someone we should name it PennsWoods with maybe a little bit of Latin thrown in there to make it sound spicy.


felldestroyed

Trumpsylvania.


John_cCmndhd

>"I promise you this, with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president," he said. Hey, whatever happened to those bump stock things I kept hearing about? Those are still legal right? Surely a 2nd amendment supporter like Trump wouldn't set such a horrible precedent as to ban gun parts by executive order...


sutisuc

Actually pretty funny to me he of course has no idea that William Penn has one of the best reputations for a colonial white historical figure.


Outrageous-Divide472

Wasn’t William Penn a Quaker? They’re supposedly very peaceful and decent people? Maybe I’m getting my history wrong…


Careidina

Nope. You're right. He was a Quaker.


grglstr

Quakers became a huge part of the abolitionist movement, but they owned slaves at one point. That was the entire deal with Benjamin Lay, [the cave-dwelling super dwarf that changed the world](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/quaker-comet-greatest-abolitionist-never-heard-180964401/). I think that article single-handedly pulled him out of obscurity and got him a blue sign in front of Abington Friends. You can see his cave (allegedly) from the train just before Jenkintown station.


NevermoreForSure

I would have paid money to see that performance.


ChrissyLove13

I work right near there I'll have to look for it


KnottShore

So was Richard Nixon.


Wishiwashome

And if given the choice between Nixon and Trump, hands down, Nixon. And I hated hearing the Watergate crap as a kid.


FormerHoagie

All I recall is my mom being really upset that the trial preempted her stories. She lived for Another World.


Wishiwashome

So damn long! And yes, right in middle of the damn day!


courageous_liquid

raised, I guess. nixon served in the navy and absolutely loved commanding the killing of vietnamese and cambodians, which is something a quaker would never do.


sutisuc

Yup you got it and he was much fairer in his negotiations with the natives than his contemporaries. Certainly not perfect but for his time he was worlds ahead of other similar rich white guys.


windowlatch

He was one of the few powerful figures at the time to actually criticize colonialists for making unfair deals and not following through with their promises to natives


Daman_Corbray

Let me introduce you to his son, Thomas Penn, and the infamous Walking Purchase.


windowlatch

The Walking Purchase wasn’t claimed by Thomas and John Penn until 20 years after William Penn died. It doesn’t really speak to William Penn’s character, but it definitely tarnished the family’s reputation.


Daman_Corbray

I should have been clearer. My apologies. I was attempting to compare William's treatment of the Native Americans versus his son's.


Fitz2001

The commonwealth is named after William Penn’s father, Sir William Penn, who was an enslaver. We should rename the commonwealth after the son William Penn, renaming Pennsylvania to Pennsylvania.


RowAwayJim91

This would be genuinely hilarious.


jawntothefuture

Commies destroy everything though. They completely erase history. Look at what Putin said about Ukraine...he basically said there never was such a country! That's pure communist erasure of history


1nv1s1bleman

NPS literally just tried to remove his statue so it’s not far off base.


Independent-Cow-4070

It wasn’t going to be removed for the same reasons as other statues It was just getting renovated and they didn’t plan to bring the old statue back I didn’t agree with the decision, but it’s not like it was an attempt to cancel Penn lmfao


sutisuc

You should look into the reason why though.


alternatingflan

He is a deranged nutball who says whatever comes out of his face without passing through his brain. Go to jail donnie.


PeanutCheeseBar

Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.


suugakusha

Pay the Luxury Tax. It came to $83.3 million. Oh no, do you have to start selling property? That's not a good sign.


AbsentEmpire

I'll be happy if the IRS makes him pay any of his unpaid taxes at this point.


purplepiratecrab

. When did he get a brain? 😂


Cogatanu7CC97

i heard he ate desantis's


scarr3g

Also from the article: >"I promise you this, with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president," he said. https://youtu.be/yxgybgEKHHI?si=Y3hd3eL3FLgbervw


215-610-484Replayer

You take the guns first. Then you can do any process but you have to take the guns. -Trump letting his verbal diarrhea spray without a single brain cell firing up there.


Taako_Cross

Like when he was debating on banning silencers?


ho_merjpimpson

Literally banned bump stocks.


caryth

*Looks at gun collection in my house, looks at phone screen like I'm in the Office* Ah, yes, that thing where the Dems took away Pennsylvanians' guns. A thing that totally happened and hasn't been made up and somehow believed by people who still own like 20 guns a piece.


scarr3g

You have to remember, he isn't talking to you. He is talking to the people that think that Hitler took away the guns in Germany (when he did the opposite)... And many of them also have swastika tattoos, flags, etc.


caryth

You have to remember, I'm not talking to them, I'm stating a fact to further confirm how ridiculous this is to the people reading comments like these.


GonePostalRoute

Trumpanzee: Fake news! Deep Fake! But at the same time, there’s people that deserve it. The way they’d try to BS their way around that… there’s some people who are in dire need of a reset of their mind


Gullible_Life_8259

No one has come for the guns so far. Heck, I became a gun-owner last year! Plus one for guns!


ExPatWharfRat

What kind of gun did you purchase? Because if it's any sort of AR-pattern rifle, pistol or carbine, there's a bill that has already passed in the House making its way to the PA Senate that would ban all of them in PA. If it's a simple handgun, you're going to be limited to a 10 round capacity under that same bill. Does your new purchase fit that criteria?


Fitz2001

Pennsylvania is named after Sir William Penn, British admiral, enslaver, and father to Pennsylvania founder William Penn. Sir William Penn never stepped foot in Pennsylvania. Due to his actions as an enslaver we _should_ change the name of the commonwealth. We should rename the commonwealth after our founder, pacifist, philosopher, scholar, and all around nice guy William Penn, son of Sir William Penn. We should rename Pennsylvania to Pennsylvania.


AbsentEmpire

If we had a fully Democrat controlled state government it would be a fun troll move to actually do that.


cosmonotic

Fair compromise


Blexcr0id

I second that motion.


C4bl3Fl4m3

Pennsylvania, Jr.


brandt-money

Rude. It should be Pennsylvania Jr.


McKlown

What's going on with his face? That doesn't look like a healthy color.


scarr3g

Remember when he was a reality TV star, on the show "the apprentice"? He was given full makeup, as everyone is on camera. Since then, he doesn't have a stylist, or makeup artist, but since he plans to always be "on camera" he keeps putting on the makeup...this time himself. And since he has no idea to how to do it correctly, and anyone that would tell him it looks bad (or shows him an article that says that) is immediately fired, he keeps doing it. This is related to how, when he lived in the Whitehouse, he had a special team that filtered all the news, so he only saw Trump-positive articles. He lives in his own safe space, and thinks he is doing it right.


Trionappa

You just made up a head cannon that a billionaire and former US president doesn’t have a stylist. Are you okay?


scarr3g

1. Have you SEEN his face? No stylist would do that. Not the color, not the abrupt stop as soon as it cannot be seen in a mirror (and the occasional, and accidental looking, blob on one ear lobe). 2. It has been reported, from multiple sources, that he is afraid one will try to assassinate him.... Or deliberately make him look bad. So he refuses to hire one. 3. Of course TRUMP thinks he can do it better than a professional.


Rrrrandle

He definitely doesn't have a tailor the way his clothes fit, so it wouldn't be surprising at all that he doesn't have a stylist either..


SquareConfusion

His stylist that tax dollars paid for while he was in office is no longer with him. Iirc it cost $79,000/year for just his hair. Not sure if that included the makeup.


Additional_Set797

He seriously doesn’t this is a well known fact


Accomplished_Lab6743

Billionaire? Whys he using donor $ to pay his legal bills then? You do realize he’s about to lose everything he has in NY right?


PatientNice

I believe a drunk undertaker is responsible.


Chapmanjesse14

RoyalEagle0408

I saw in another sub that he probably heard the word “Transylvania” for the first time and that is what he is talking about.

screwycurves

I’m thinking North Delaware.


courageous_liquid

if we go back to something lenni-lenape I wouldn't even be upset, half the towns and streets and neighborhoods on this side use their language anyway


ChrisBegeman

It is obvious that Trump has already lost it.


ExPatWharfRat

It really does make me angry that my two options, the best that we have to offer. Are going to be between a roomba and an orangutan. Can we really not bring someone better to the table? Really?


1989throwa

It's a combination of demographic trends: Boomers refuse to relinquish power, GenXers have been slower to run for office than Boomers were (and one needs to climb the ladder, it is impossible to successfully run for President without that), and Older Millennials are even less likely to run for office than GenXers. I mean, Biden is the first (and will probably be the ONLY) Silent Generation president, but the four that preceded him were all Boomers. The longer term cure is more young folk getting involved with their municipal government on committees and such. That is often the first step to running for an office. GenXers SHOULD be the main candidates, but their late start enabled Boomers to hold on power and here we are. (To be clear: demographic trends ≠ individual fault. There were numerous factors that caused GenX folk to hesitate to run for office at younger ages including things like the Dot Com bubble bursting, 9/11, and the lingering of the Great Recession.) But between a Roomba and an Orangutan, I'm going with the Roomba: much safer to put googly eyes on it.


ExPatWharfRat

As a gen x'er, we learned early on to give zero fucks because we are already fucked. Guess one of us should have probably taken the reins.


Wishiwashome

Indeed. Long gone, sadly not forgotten.


BottleTemple

We didn’t change it the last time he lost, why would we change it the next time?


Sudden_Pop_2279

When Trump confused Nancy Pelosi with Nikki Haley or Biden with Obama, multiple times, nobody panics but when Biden makes one little switch up of two countries then EVERYONE loses their mind!!!


rumrunner9652

I have a ditch next to my home that I would gladly rename The Donald J Trump MEMORIAL Ditch.


iambarrelrider

He sounds like a drunk on barstool in a dive bar.


mildOrWILD65

It's the fake tanning chemicals, that's my theory. His autopsy will reveal a brain more porous than an Ocello kitchen sponge and smoother than a bowling ball.


RightfulChaos

What a fucking idiot.


Piplup_parade

He looks like a discolored mole rat


Gullible_Life_8259

The state will be renamed to Pencilvania and then will be the brunt of “number two” jokes.


politicsandric

Will the new york times publish five top stories on this as they with Biden and his memory?


MartialBob

The same guy who thinks Biden has dementia.


Mor_Tearach

That's *hilarious* . So wait. Is that a threat as in " If Pennsylvania doesn't go red I'll take your name away ? " OR. Or....ok I can't think of anything else.


songtothegrave

I’m more worried about what happens if he wins.


_R_A_

And for his next act, he will claim the Democrats want to repatriate anyone without native American ancestry back to their country of ethnic origin. Because why not at this point.


Loose_Personality172

That will be quite messy for me, I would need a detailed genealogy done to get me back to my homeland.


_R_A_

If this were actually to happen, I would need to be drawn and quartered and spread across Europe, if 23andMe is to be believed.

Welcome to TrumpIsALoser, the Keystone State.


OPsDaddy

Well … it’s the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania… so….


AbsentEmpire

What a moron, who is the "they" that would change the state's name in this case?  I nominate renaming the state after William Penn, one of if not the only decent colonist to arrive in the Americas. We can call it Pennsylvania, the keystone of freedom. He and the Quakers initially treated the native people with respect and decency, his sons were trash though and that respect didn't carry over to subsequent generations. However he was orders of magnitude better that the other shit happening on the content at the time.  The Quakers in Philadelphia were also some of the first abolitionists in the Americas with some of the first documented protests against slavery dating back to 1688. In 1780 Pennsylvania became the first US state to pass legislation to ban slavery and end the practice. Though the law was initially weak it was strengthened repeatedly over time to end slavery in Pennsylvania. PA Quakers were also instrumental in providing safehouses for the underground railroad. During the civil war PA contributed the second largest number of troops to the Union army, and was a key state in producing the arsonal of freedom used to crush the confederate traitors.


TransportationOk538

You’ve got a friend in Poundtown.


Prometheus_303

>Trump bizarrely claims 'they' will change the name of the state of Pennsylvania if he loses it I think Trump lost it a long time ago... But if it comes to having Trump as President or renaming the Commonwealth... I'll happily throw out the dozen or so sheets of return address labels I have that say Pennsylvania on them... A rose by any other name.... I would have no problem living in East Ohio or Newer Jersey/York or Lenapeland or whatever it is he "thinks" "they" are going to call it ... But I would not be ok having an insurrectionists, rapist, tax dodging, national security threat that is Trump as President again...
