"Every time a liberal calls Trump a Nazi a moonbat from hell gets its wings burned off."

President Donald Trump wants Americans to think he re-invented Christmas.
“We can say merry Christmas again,” he has said on numerous occasions both during his campaign for president and his presidency. “Christmas is back, better and bigger than ever before,” he told supporters months before the Christmas season.

But critics counter that Trump is promoting a version of the holidays that excludes members of other religions, and that his crusade to bring back Christmas is part of a larger attempt by the president to define America as a country for white Christians alone.
Wishing people “merry Christmas” instead of “happy holidays,” is thus in line with Trump’s decision to ban citizens of Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, critics say. It fits neatly with his refusal to condemn white supremacists when they march against diversity, and with his condemnation of athletes who protest police brutality against black men. With this in mind, the fight to end the war on Christmas is exclusionary politics at its most flagrant.
“I see such invocations of Christmas as a kind of cypher, what some would call a dog whistle. It does not appear to be intolerant or extreme, but to attentive audiences it speaks volumes about identity and belonging—who and what are fully American,” Richard King, a professor at Washington State University who studies how white supremacists exploit culture, told Newsweek.
“Much like 'Make America Great Again,' panics over the protests by NFL players, and the defense of Confederate memory, Christmas is a way to talk about peril, to assert a soft or hard version of white nationalism.”

He’s really quite adept at misdirection.
Newsweak gave up serious reporting for name-calling decades ago.
Yeah saying MERRY CHRISTMAS is now Nazi talk well Okie dokie then..I guess Los Angeles is chalk full of Nazi’s because I heard MERRY CHRISTMAS being said EVERYWHERE..even by the local news reporters, who are ALL liberal, I guess they are Nazi’s too
"Peace on earth, good will toward men." Doesn't sound like a particularly exclusive wish, does it?

How is Christmas a WHITE-only holiday? I believe black people celebrate it as well. As do Asians, Indians, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, Australian aborigines, and for all we know, space aliens. His "attempt to bring back Christmas" is nothing more than an attempt to bring back Christmas.
I salute him.
Dammit ...who let the cat out of the bag what we were up to?
Oh well.... Heil Santa!!
Yep there is nothing like rejoicing in the birth of a Jewish baby born in Bethlehem to promote White nationalism. No one is excluded from taking part in the celebration of Christmas. Hasn’t the author seen the lines of holiday shoppers?
How could Trump and the Nazis (a group of anti-Trump socialists) steal Christmas to promote racism (which is what socialists have promoted from their inception)?
LOL! HAHAHA
"Every time a liberal calls Trump a Nazi a moonbat from hell gets its wings burned off."
These are the kind of people that would believe that the grinch actually did steal Christmas.
The noose keeps tightening. The effort is to paint anything to do with Western Civilization as racist. Before long, any traditional belief we hold will be labeled as inherently evil, and the only way to absolve guilt is to renounce our way of life, our country, our religion.
Ho-lee-crap! These leftists are completely unhinged. Wow.
Funny I would have guessed Dickie was a queen, not a King.
The Fake News Media wages war against Christianity while scoffing at the claim that the Fake News Media wages war against Christianity.

I was telling everybody Santa’s black jack boots was a dead give away! But did anybody listen to me???
Sooo, what these people are saying is blacks don’t believe in Jesus? Is that what they are implying? EVERY black I know believes and Christmas is as important to them as it is to me.
He looks like the Dick King to me.
This has got to be one of the stupidest article I have read in awhile...
This could easily been an onion article
