Just for fun, I was looking into the whole St. Patrick thing and why it evolved into what we have today. In Ireland, it is traditionally a day of prayer and wasn’t (before relativity recently) a day of parades. Also, the color of St. Patrick is traditionally blue. But on this continent, in the 18th century pre-revolution, Irish members of the British army marched to the church together for St. Patrick’s observations, and that grew into a thing that apparently got a little rowdy at times. As more Irish were forced here by British occupation and starvation practices, the Irish banded together to show their strength in numbers (self preservation in the mean streets), and in part to remember the country they were forced out of. The green was the color of protest against the Brits. May not have all the details exactly right, but that’s the gist.
Part of it may be kompromittieren, part of it may be serious financial debt, and part of it is Diaper Don’s real and sincere love of all things fascist/dictator.
The entire Trump era plays like a classic high school bully scenario. Bullies always have sycophants who suck up to them even as the bully repeatedly humiliates them.
