Sticking it to Trump by switching to a bad maps app.
Oh, so you just blindly agree with whatever he says and just blindly use Google services whilst ignoring the reasons people might have issues with them?
I found the whole "renaming things war" the first time stupid; as it peaked with renaming "master" to "main", highlighting both an ignorance and literacy problem. This time around, it's just as stupid, it's just coming from the other side. I'm hoping this exposes both sides to how ridiculous this crap is.
For me, no rename will ever surpass freedom fries:
The name change serves zero purpose and is nothing more than political theater.
It was political theater when the Obama administration renamed Mount McKinley to Denali, but obviously they felt that it served a purpose.
Seriously though, let the locals be in charge of naming things. As a Texan, I've always just called it the Gulf. But if asked, it's full name is Gulf of Mexico, named after the Mexica (the Aztecs to you and me).
Does Mexico pay for cleaning up Exxon’s oil spills now?

America is not exclusive to the US but a whole continent, for the much larger part comprising many more spanish/portuguese speaking countries and also Canada.
The US basically is only the increasingly annoying bully in the middle.

If I had to stop using services or buying products every time they advocate for something or do some change I disagree with I would have to live in a cabin in the woods.
Is there a name for this fallacy?

Denali is just the word for 'tall' in some local dialect. It is not exactly pregnant with meaning. > It seems like a reduction in politics, not a continuation. That's an odd take given that there was far less political discussion around the mountain's name prior to its renaming under Obama.
I think you lack empathy for others, and it's leading you to discount things that matter to people.
