The problem with "happy holidays" is that one of those holidays is implied to be Christmas. If only we could engineer some form of the phrase that fixed this, our war on Christmas would be all but finished.

And a Cheerful Clusterfuck to you all! A holiday greeting focused at anyone who ever worked any form of retail during the holidays.

Then again, a Cheerless Clusterfuck might work better.

Don't you tell me my business again.
It hit me this year how much it really bugs me that the right succeeded in making the non issue of "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" into an actual thing that's palpable.

I overhear conversations about "I ALWAYS say 'Merry Christmas, I don't care WHAT people say'" and feel a tinge of weirdness and tension in the air that was never there before the RWM's persecution complex made it that way. They invented a non-existent "war" on themselves and once again have managed to frame a narrative around a non issue that no one ever cared about until they were told they should for some reason.

I don't know any liberal, Christian or otherwise, that ever gave a poo poo what anyone said or didn't say but, these days, you can almost tell who's a Republican because they've begun to say "Merry Christmas" somewhat aggressively and more often. Whole thing pisses me off because they took a totally innocuous thing, like ACORN or voter fraud for instance, and made into another battle that I never had any desire to fight.

Hopefully, now that Trump won the War on Christmas and defended our beautiful phrase, next Christmas won't be so bad. :pray:

In fact, he can retire now. He saved Christmas so we don't need him anymore. Take the rest of the term off, Mr. Trump. You've earned it! Merry Christmas!

I don't really trip except for the part where the whole stupid "issue" even crosses my mind is what I mean. I just say whatever usually - I don't even know wtf I used to say, tbh - and never gave it any thought so gently caress these idiots for making a polite greeting a litmus test on my ideology and adding an unnecessary layer of tension to basically saying "have a nice day".

It's like political correctness in reverse now.

When I still worked retail, the merry Christmas phrasing poo poo definitely made my job just a little bit worse. If I said "happy holidays" I'd make customers mad, but if I said "merry Christmas" I'd have to listen to them make the same dumb joke about how they hope I don't get fired for saying that or how they're so proud of me for standing up against The Man or whatever the gently caress.

If Trump is still President next year, it'll be interesting to see what the RWM crowd does now that the War on Christmas has been won.

They're going to repeat it again since reality doesn't matter and literally the only thing they have to offer their voters is culture war bullshit. There was never a was a war on Christmas to be won in the first place.

The ways Trump wins in 2020 is if the Democrats gently caress up to a fantastic degree (sending someone like Tim Kaine or Cory Booker against him to talk about returning to civility as the primary reason for electing them) or he succeeds in his voter fraud commission to create massive voter disfranchisement. Trump lucked into power on the back of a complacent opposing party combined with razor thing victory margins in specific states. He's not an unbeatable juggernaut, he's an idiot with a cargo cult backing him in congress so he's untouchable via the ways he's supposed to held accountable by our idiotically designed system. He also benefits because he doesn't give a poo poo about the political norms that every one else pretends to care about so it makes him look like he's able to force his will when in actuality our traditions were all paper thin in the first place. That doesn't mean he's going to coast into victory when he and his party have made a statement about pissing off everyone they possibly can for the last year.

He's consistently polling sub-40, he hasn't managed to push through any of his more grandiose promises, red states and districts are bleeding right-wind* elected officials, and his base is being reduced to only the most slavering and mindless xenophobes, of which there are not enough to carry an election. Even the right-wing news organ is polishing the Trump turd to less of a sheen than they were a year ago. He's not a superman. He's a guy who floated into office on a cloud made entirely of wind puffing from dog whistles and voter apathy. At the height of Trump fervor, the guy lost the popular vote by 3,000,000. Unless Alabama gets 42 electoral votes in 2020, or the Democrats run a Kim Jong Un/Wad of toilet paper stuck to your shoe ticket, I think Trump's chances of reelection are poor.

What is your reasoning for thinking he has such a good shot at term #2?

He didn't have much of a shot at his first term either. The only people he's pissing off are other politicians and people who would never vote for him anyway. The people who voted for him last year all love him. We're hosed.
