Let’s be clear. There’s no “war on Christmas” and no one is trying to ban saying “merry Christmas.”
Case in point. I'm Muslim. It doesn't offend me when people wish me Merry Christmas. Offensive is when MAGA politicians brandish weapons of war while kids are shot dead in school and claim that's the Christmas spirit.

If you don't get why that's a problem, y'all need Jesus, and common sense.

@QasimRashid The "war on Christmas" was always just a fear-mongering talking point of the right. Like the caravan that's coming to take over your suburb, it is a way to rile up uninformed older voters about the pace of change in society.

I don't think I've seen a single progressive or lib say that you can't celebrate christmas. The only thing they've said that I've seen is that we should show respect for all holidays of all cultures during the reason.

But to a privileged bigot, equal respect feels like oppression. And the right wing tabloid press is eager to fearmonger to its audience about that.
