When you look up any other city it doesn't include the "state" name with the city so I don't know why D.C. needs to be included just because it's Washington D.C.
I think people are used to adding DC when speaking of Washington as it is a simple way to differentiate from the state of Washington. If you are looking at a map you already know you aren't looking at Washington state.
Wrong. It has ALWAYS been either Washington D.C., or D.C. Just plain Washington has always referred to the state.
Occasionally some reporters called it Washington, but that was always a fopaw, and they eventually changed it for clarification and accuracy. Few acceptions allowed (Washington press Corp, was changed to DC press corp)
One of the reasons they have always added it, as you said, but also is the proper name. DC is not Washington. It is Washington D.C.

I could be wrong, but you know, could be right too.
People on Telegram said DC is not longer listed on maps! I just checked Apple Maps and it only says Washington. It didn’t used to, just weeks ago!
Interesting! Same with Duckduckgo maps and openstreetmap.org (somebody else will have to check google b/c I have their domain blacklisted).
Google maps showing Washington as well.
Thanks for the confirmation! Will add to my post
I wonder if they are preemptively changing it due to the Dems trying to make it a state. Its possible they got the word out that it will happen.
So the plan is two have two states identically named Washington?
This nonsense triggers 11.4.2 of the Law of War... can you say "belligerents"??
I wouldn't put it past the dim witted Dems. Definitely don't think it's part of the Q plan.
Thanks Hydradarr.
