I don’t know, even as an American, I see more people complaining about this problem than people who actually act like this. It seems especially worse this year for some reason.

aren’t there presidential campaigns next year in the us? this “war on christmas”(dog whistle for war on christian conservatives) concept has become a rallying banner every christmas since at least 2014 for conservatives. every year is the same. they even complained about cups going from red to green in some fast food company because they thought it was a “war on christmas”.

next year elections so they are ramping up their rethoric to rally their voter fanatic christian voter base.

I’d advise that you do what we Americans do when we encounter those types of individuals.

We say “that person is a weirdo. let’s leave.” and leave. very easy!

If you aren’t spending time around people that complain about it, that makes sense. My mom is normally pretty quiet while my dad yells about whatever political issue, but this is one topic she gets vocally upset about as we’re celebrating Christmas together literally every year. It’s wild

My conservative relatives have taken up the battle against calling it “X-mas.” I have explained ad nauseam that the X is for the Greek letter “chi” which is the first letter in Χριστός (Chrīstós) and it is not “Xing out Jesus from his own birthday.” But here we are.

My mom complains about it and she’s a professed Wiccan, but she watches Faux News all day…

That’s a new variant. My dad’s a rocket scientist who’s managed satellite projects in pursuit of better climate data. Yet he’s a FOX News indoctrinate, a MAGA true believer, and now a climate crisis denialist.

Even those who should know better are susceptible to propaganda.
