A Texas man has legally changed his name to Literally Anybody Else and announced he is running for US president in the 2024 election.
Formerly known as Dustin Ebey, the 35-year-old is a US army veteran and seventh-grade math teacher in the suburbs of Dallas, and now has a Texas driver’s license to prove his name change.
He said he wanted to change his name because he was unsatisfied with this year’s presidential candidates, Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
“Three hundred million people can do better,” he said in reference to the two frontrunners for the nation’s highest office. “There really should be some outlet for people like me who are just so fed up with this constant power grab between the two parties that just has no benefit to the common person.
It’s a form of protest. He’s clearly not actually aiming to get elected.
That’s what you think, but this is actually a play to be officially remembered in the Library of Congress, like all candidates who receive a certain number of votes.
These protests are getting sillier as time goes on. I’m waiting for one with a rubber duck. No specific application of the duck in mind, just has to be included.
Here ya go! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/20/giant-rubber-ducks-become-symbol-of-thai-pro-democracy-rallies
The prophecy has been fulfilled and so have I.
Thank you.
