text: St. Patrick, the man they say (metaphorically) drove the snakes out of Ireland was met with much resistance and backlash upon his journey to bring Christianity to Ireland. Pagans stoned him and cast him out and he was even banished from Ireland in the process. He was one of the most hated people in Ireland. We are met with backlash, some of us have had passerby’s scream and throw things at us and some of us have given our lives being a patriot or simply wearing a Trump hat. Social Media platforms have silenced and removed us, media outlets have labeled us as white supremacy groups, our elected officials have even gone so far as to make us felons for simply associating with each other and classified us as domestic terrorist organizations. But remember, Patrick was made a saint after he returned beat down and broken and Ireland would not be the peaceful, sovereign nation it is today without his sacrifices. Imagine what a group of more than 10,000 could have done if he did all that himself? Imagine what WE can do if we simply don’t give up! Be the warriors we need and drive out the snakes! Happy St. Patrick’s day patriots!Stay vigilant, stay safe and stay free!
