    Where do conservatives get the idea that there’s an even marginally significant amount of people who get offended by any of that?

    One time when my brother was like three he declared "NOW HEAR THIS" and then burped real loud and that's all I can think of whenever I see that phrase.

    Reactionaries complain about a war on Christmas. While in reality, for a month+ the entire social fabric of America annoyingly revolves around Christmas, and literally no one cares how you choose to celebrate it.

    When he says "bring home the bacon" does he mean he'll drag home a cop to be skinned and cooked? 🤔

    I'm gonna watch shitty old cartoons and terrible songs that no one actually likes from when your grandma was first getting diagnosed with hysteria. The other two are about idioms that literally no one cares if you use. This guy has Opinions that Matter

    American chuds are like "stop making taking the Christ out of Christmas" while also pinning the entire year's economy on their fourth quarter earnings and using it as a chance to make money the same way as the moneylenders whose tables got overturned by Jesus when he found them selling shit in god's temple.

    I remember one time a coworker was ranting to me about "X Mas" being used as an abbreviation and I had to stop her mid sentence and explain that yeah, the modern usage seems secular and cheap, but using X as an abbreviation of 'Xristos' goes back to the days when Christians were being oppressed by the Roman empire.

      Lucy repeatedly pulling the football away from Charlie Brown is a classic trope of misandrist abuse 💅

      As much as I do love A Charlie Brown Christmas, the ultimate message of the piece is that commercialism is obscuring the true meaning of Christmas: our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

          Well they do all come together as a community, which is the part I love about the special, and then Linus reads the bible for Chuck to remind him what Christmas is all about. It's a lovely little story, but it is explicitly Christian.

          I feel like they lampshade it a little in the following year's It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. In that one, Linus is the only kid who believes in the mythical Halloween spirit the Great Pumpkin.

        is it explicitly Jesus or is it like "we all come together as a community"?

        I obviously had no childhood since I just watched Macaulay Culkin torture working class guys every christmas instead

    Plugged into an AI text completor:

    "Now hear this! I am going to watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Charlie Brown's Christmas. I'm going to listen to Baby it's Cold Outside and Santa Baby. I will continue to use the phrases "bring home the bacon", "kill two birds with one stone" or any other damn thing that may offend you. I've had it with all this political correctness. If you don't like me, you don't like me. If you don't like my choices of movies, then you can choose to spend a little less time with me in your life. If you don't like my marriage, don't get married, marry someone else. If you don't like my life, get out of it. If you can't deal with a black President, try a Hispanic one. But don't be so racist that you tell me you don't want to have a black President because of something my Daddy might have said in the past, that may have been hurtful. So back off "
