I'm unsure how much difference that would make as I find it hard to believe someone so mentally impaired that he can hardly construct a coherent sentence can actually be running the apparently coordinated efforts to destroy US citizens' constitutional rights and protections

Irish politicians definitely know how to bear a grudge!
I don't think there are many countries where the 3 main political parties are descended from factions in a civil war over 100 years ago (although on reflection, maybe Mexico or some South American countries 🤷‍♂️)

I think lack of an official Irish Independence Day is more tangled than that
24 Apr probably too identified with violent republicanism
06 Dec seen by Sinn Fein supporters as commemorating betrayed of the Republic
21 Jan probably unacceptable to opponents of SF as 1919 Dail was made up of SF TDs

Maybe @shakethescales.bsky.social is waiting for reunification 😉
Meanwhile there are more candidates for date -
06 Dec 1921: signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty
06 Dec 1922: establishment of the Irish Free State after Treaty ratification
(Btw think you meant 21 Jan 1919)

But strangely missing Ireland

If it was truly about a war on drugs, they’d be bombing the Sacklers right now.
