Today's Tiedrich rant: oh fuck, we forgot to have a War on Christmas
Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/oh-fuck-we-forgot-to-have-a-war-on
remember the War on Christmas? remember how much fun that was? Republicans used to cower in their homes as gangs of MS-13 roamed the streets, ready to punch the shit out of anyone who failed to say ‘Happy Holidays.’
seriously, Fox News really fell down on the job this year. back in the good old days, loofah enthusiast Bill O’Reilly would devote weeks upon weeks of programming to tirelessly documenting every instance of a public figure failing to pay proper tribute to Jesus Claus by saying Merry Christmas, using instead the Karl Marx-approved woke greeting Happy Holidays.
look, commies, Bill’s just trying to do you a favor by restoring you to God’s graces. it’s right there in your Bible, heathens, in Zealots 4:20 — “thou shalt only say Merry Christmas, lest I smite ye blaspheming fuckheads.” listen to your Uncle Bill, infidels, and stop inciting God’s wrath.
Screenshot:
after Bill was sent to a big farm upstate where he would have room to run around and sexually harass all the other dogs, it was up to Fox News found objects like Jesse Watters to carry the mantle.
Screenshot:
but this year? crickets — and so rank and file Republicans to step into the breach.

Tiedrich makes some good points here, but I think Faux Noise has so many other things to go crazy over these days, they kind of forgot that "Christmas" used to be a thing.
Please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."
