Florida city forced to cancel St Patrick’s Day parade due to Trump anti-diversity law
(www.independent.co.uk)
Florida hurt itself in its confusion.
recoil damage from thier attacks on "others"
No, not confusion, straight stupidity
Always trying to keep the fluorescent man down.
meth+ gator people.
Had a terrible case of Ron DeSantis last night. Had to wipe 50 times before I felt even slightly clean!
forgot desantis lost relevance after he dropped out of the race for presidently 3 years ago.
You should get a bidet. Squeeky clean.
You got what you voted for you fucking fucks. I'm gonna party. You can drink at home and beat your family. You'd do it anyway.
This gets upvoted but remember 3 million of us did try to vote him out. And near 4 million for Angie Nixon this year.

If that had happened in Chicago Or Boston there would be a riot big enough to impress the French.
You underestimate New York's love for a good drinking holiday. We even have two St Paddy's Day parades; one in Staten Island and one in Manhattan, each on different days so we can celebrate longer.
That’s legit as fuck, honestly.
I’m using my one-time Irishman Seal of Approval on this.
“Go Hiontach!”
(Pronounced: Go Heen-thuck, means “Wonderful!”)
Pronounced: Go Heen-thuck
Further proof that Gaelic is just a prank on the English.
Seriously, if you aren’t taught how to pronounce it, good fucking luck.
And! There are multiple dialects, same spelling (iirc) but different pronunciation!

In 2020, March 17th (St. Patricks day) was the day Desantis initiated the "lockdown" and closed all bars and nightclubs for 30 days. Trump declared it a national emergency on the 13th. Maybe they really just dislike St Patricks day, because suddenly they were all about re-opening everything for Easter

This could be in NotTheOnion. I had to check to make sure it wasn't satire.

And through the wonder of crossposting, it now is! 🥳
Millions of Americans think diversity is just another name for black people. That's how this stupidity gets traction.
And "the gays".
Tbf: brown people too.
And women
and lgbtq+ people.

It still blows my mind how it was considered extremely racist to call someone "brown" when I was younger and now it's what we're supposed to say. Not as racist as the n-word, of course, but still very racist.
It's less what you're "supposed" to say and more about the fact that when someone refers to black people, most people will mentally exclude many other groups with brown skin like Hispanic people.
Rightwing policies have ironically turned them into "PC police" and "cancel culture" their policies were intended to destroy except for the opposite motive.
aka=thought police in essence. very close to being vice of virtue police that S.A has.
If it weren't for projection the GOP would have no agenda at all.
They're gonna be pissed because they wanted cancel culture just not cancel their culture

i'm not sure "ironic" is the right word. this was always the goal. they don't care about cancel culture in general, they only care about backlash against other republican losers. they're just serial liars and they have always been like that. even when "party of small government" was their primary marketing phrase, they were still giving the government more power over individuals. it's not really irony, it's just fascists lying.
there's a well known sarte quote about it, you've probably read it before.
It's an outcome opposite the one ostensibly stated or intended, ie, irony. Much like their attempts to end religious neutrality they claim represses Christianity enables the Satanic Temple to cause them grief, another rightwing policy intended to end cultural neutrality that deters their white ethnocentricity is still deterring celebrations they'd want. They're their own enemy.
Oh jeez, I guess the legislation left out the part where DEI rules don't apply if a super-majority of openly racist assholes agrees that you're sufficiently white.
I regret to inform you the Irish sre not sufficiently white.
Sure, in the 1800s. St Paddy's Day was made a national holiday as a sacrifice to the greater racists to let the Irish into the "white" club. No one gives a flying fuck if you're Irish nowadays. Source: I have an Irish last name, no one cares or bats an eye.
I have an Irish last name but the town I live in is extremely old school WASP. A former manager of mine told me I should be marking myself as non-white on EEOC forms because of my Irish heritage. I laughed thinking she was joking. She wasn’t. Bit of a shock that someone still holds onto those beliefs nowadays.
Jesus
My dad’s a boomer named (something similar to) Pádraig with a stereotypical Irish last name. My siblings and I have more common English first names, but everyone except for me is a redhead. In the 50s and 60s, my dad still faced real problems (in New England!), including getting jumped a couple of times and losing out on jobs/housing.
None of my siblings or I have ever experienced actual discrimination of any sort due to having Irish heritage (again, New England, so it could be different elsewhere). The closest I’ve ever come is being earnestly called a papist, and people (correctly) assuming that I have a bunch of cousins. The papist thing was very weird, and it might have felt different if I were at all religious, but I just told them that I was actually Jesus* and they were too shocked to say anything else.
Maybe the actual KKK still kind of cares if you’re Catholic (but not specifically Irish- they’d probably be fine with Irish Protestants and probably wouldn’t be with French Catholics), but they’re not actually aggressing Catholics, they just might not welcome you as a member… anyone for whom that’s an issue is in fact very much the problem.
/* I very much recommend giving proselytizers a benevolent smile, and calling them “my child,” if you want to get rid of them quickly. The less you resemble their mental image of Jesus, the better. It works best if you’re familiar enough with the bible to quote scripture to them, but if you’re too convincing, you might start a cult.

Same as Italians. They accepted us when they saw they could turn us into more useful racists.
It's Desantis/Florida anti-diversity laws.
