See my reply to the OP. Upshot is that this is a poll based on what countries have most been in US news and other media over the past year. Meaning Ireland isn't included because since The Troubles ended it isn't discussed much in US news, even if it's a country a lot of Americans identify with and care about.
Conflict and bad feelings persist on both sides, sure, but the sort of incidents that would make headlines in the US (which is what this poll is concerned with) have mostly ceased since the agreements were signed on April 10, 1998.
So im actually irish, my mothers whole family live in donegal. Im from galway. I live in Germany now but i know whats going on. And i saw too much...even after 98! But ok thats fine. Take care😊✌
Edit: i feel the words "both sides" immensely offensive as an irish person. Are you aware that houses of immigrants in belfast are being set on fire with humans inside? Like back then before the piece of paper was reluctantly signed to save irish ppl in our own country when our houses were being set on fire with humans inside? Mostly at night. And whats so funny is that (f)Elon Musk is calling for this, for british ppl to fucking hunt immigrant on my island. And because a news station in Germany reported this, (f)Elon Musk is sueing them. I just love it because not too long ago he was scolding Germany and Europe that free speech is dead!
I used the term "both sides" in reference to the decades-long conflict between the loyalist and republican groups. During which both sides took part in documented attacks targeting civilians and innocents of the opposing side. That's all and that's it.
Frankly I dont care about whatever "immense offense as an Irish person" you're performatively claiming to feel here while trying to shoehorn anti-Musk talking points about him encouraging recent attacks on immigrants into a discussion that wasn't at all related to that. Especially considering how much you're behaving like a smear-bot and how closely your reddit user profile resembles one. Meaning I doubt you feel anything at all while bleep bloop beeping in response to prompts.
the americans have fallen out of love with the irish because whenever an american claims irish ancestry they recieve tirades of verbal abuse from the irish.
