Merry Christmas, fellow Americans!

    I think people on the right are just as, if not more, upset about the Christmas/Holiday’s thing.

    I’m not aligned with either wing or party and from a neutral standpoint I don’t understand this argument it’s just weird.

    Some people celebrate Christmas in America, some don’t. Most don’t get offended when told either Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. There are multiple holidays celebrated from Thanksgiving - New Years time.

    Maybe find a more important thing to focus on and try to spread positivity in this season?

    Happy holidays started being said as an attempt to secularize Christmas. That's why the joke is wishing liberal districts happy holidays and conservative ones merry Christmas.

    This doesn’t check out. There’s a pretty even divide of Christians and their political ideology.

    Furthermore, Happy Holidays began in the 19th century as a way to wish happiness across the longer stretch of time from Thanksgiving to New Year’s and the multiple various holidays encompassed in that time.

    This idea of left vs. right for Christmas and holidays is just the expansion of psychological warfare of partisan politics. The idea of Christ in Christmas is not what’s being attacked, it’s the expression of multiple holidays and religions who don’t necessarily recognize or celebrate this one specific holiday in the season.

    So, only representation after taxation? Doesn't seem very consistent with the founding of our nation.

    The Founding Fathers used tariffs for revenue generation instead of taxes and thought only landowners should be allowed to vote.

    They also only allowed white men to vote. Both changed over time. Are you against that change too?

    As for tariffs... We learned how awful they were. Even today, most conservative economists will tell you how bad they are. I know Thomas Sowell is hated these days, but he explains the problems with them pretty well.
