It’s not just American liberals that have reached PEAK lunacy.
Libs in Northern Ireland are doing their best to ruin everything they can get their sensitive little hands on, too.
THIS. IS. INSANE.

DEAR GOD.
I’m sorry… but if they ever tried to ban our flag in America… sh*t’s gonna go down.
According to the story above:
The green, white and orange flag will be banned from the parade in Strabane, Northern Ireland, this year.
The flag is a regular sight at St Patrick’s Day events on both sides of the Irish border and across the globe.
AS IT SHOULD BE.
St Patrick’s Day is an Irish holiday. Everybody knows that. If that OFFENDS you, you shouldn’t be at a parade in the first place… you should be in a mental hospital.
The white of the flag represents peace between the island’s two largest political and religious communities – broadly, the Catholic, nationalist majority and the Protestant, unionist minority.
But the Irish flag, along with flags relating to Northern Ireland and Britain, will be banned from the show in Strabane this year.
It has sparked fury among those who believe Ireland’s flag should be present at an event celebrating Ireland’s national day.
DUH. THIS IS A NO-BRAINER. WTF, STRABANE?!
Derry City and Strabane District Council said the ban was an effort to create cross-community appeal for the parade, which is being run by the council for the first time.
YEAH… if the flag of the country you’re in TRIGGERS you… it’s probably time to get out. This is absolutely ridiculous.
However a unionist councillor has already poured cold water on the sentiment, claiming the event was still not “inclusive” because it also coincides with the area’s Irish language festival.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.

Ulster Unionist councillor Derek Hussey told the Belfast Telegraph it was “counter-intuitive” to ban the tricolour while also celebrating the Irish language – the funding of which is a contentious issue in Northern Ireland.
He said: “There is no attempt from the republican community to work on inclusively. At the end of the day the council is trying to make it a celebration which is inclusive.
“But it certainly hasn’t changed in a way that would make me go with the wife and wains [children].”
Mr Hussey, who admitted he has never attended a St Patrick’s Day parade, said it was “frustrating” the flag of St Patrick will also be banned, claiming it has “symbolism and heritage that relates to us all”.
This is literally as stupid as saying “I don’t eat Chinese food when I’m in China, because they’re not trying hard enough to be inclusive of me. I am not Chinese.”
I can’t deal with this.
