Is Santa a Republican? Here’s what Americans think
Deseret News ^ | 12/17/24 | Kelsey Dallas

If Santa Claus was an American citizen, would he have sided with Democrats or Republicans in November?

A new YouGov survey asks about that and other quirky, Christmas-related topics, revealing, among other things, that most Americans think old St. Nick would share their political views.

“Among Democrats, 62% think he would support the Democratic Party. Among Independents, 50% think he would support Independents. Among Republicans, 55% think Santa would back the Republican Party,” YouGov reported.

Santa probably doesn’t pay much attention to our politics.

Santa is a democrat because Santa ain't real.

Saint Nicholas of Myra on the other hand is a Republican. Quietly does good works, likes merchants and layeth the smack down when needed.

Neither. In life Saint Nick used his own money to give to whom he saw to be needy and deserving

A far cry from what these idiots and their supporters are doing

From the Catholic Saints Website:
“Saint Nicholas was born into a wealthy Christian family in the third century in Patara, which is now part of Turkey. When his parents died from a plague, he inherited a large fortune and gave it away to the poor and needy.
One of the most popular stories about Saint Nicholas is when he anonymously gave three bags of gold to a poor family with three daughters”

St Nicholas had become a bishop. He saw fit to use HIS money to needy families whom he discerned would use it wisely

He would think leftists ideals of taxing others money to redistribute it to un vested and mostly economically unwise people to be very strange and would correctly determine it would lead to bad things

He would look at what Mike Johnson just put out in that stupid assed bill and want to be dissociated from republicans and democrats

Democrat Claus sneaks into your house and steals the presents.

Then buys votes with them.

Do you think the elves really sing and dance with joy while making toys 23 hours a day? Santa is a pre-1865 Democrat.

Just like Christ Himself, St. Nicholas (the real Santa Claus) is beyond politics.

He blesses and gives to people of all political persuasions. We should do the same, especially if we are Christians.

Santa was sitting in a bar talking with a bunch of elves...so you think you can build me a Big, beautiful EV to haul all this stuff around...

Sure Santa...we're still dealing with the weight problem though. So first thing...you're going to have to do is go on a diet.

"Say no more....said Nick...you get back to the shop...and no more working at home...

As they left, one elf named Ditto looked back and yelled....And no more ho ho ho's for you.

Not Christmas related but I like this one.

A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man below.

She shouts to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would buy him lunch an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”

The man consults his portable GPS and replies, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude. You’re 20 miles south of Mordor, and 30 miles west of Narnia.”

She rolls her eyes and says, “You must be a Republican!”

“I am,” replies the man. “How did you know?”

“Well,” answers the balloonist, “you’ve told me a lot of things that are technically correct, and a few things that aren’t, but none of it is any use to me in my actual circumstances. Frankly, you’re not much help to me.”

The man smiles and responds, “You must be a Democrat.”

“I am,” replies the balloonist. “How did you know?”

“Well,” says the man, “You don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air, because you promised someone a free lunch that you have no idea how to make good on, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it’s become my fault.”

Giving stuff away that wasn’t taken from someone else? Definitely a Republican.

Well, let’s see...

On the Democrat side, there’s his working with elves using a barter system that takes their work and effort and makes the end result available to everyone for free (so he’s pro-wealth redistribution). He’s into green energy (renewable resource of immortal magic reindeer), and he wears red (duh).

On the Republican side, he’s for individual responsibility and accountability and reward or punishing the behavior that brings (”naught/nice” list). He doesn’t much approve of snowflake-like behavior (”better not pout/better not cry”), and he supports traditional family values and an entrepreneurial spirit unhampered and unimpeded by government or physics. This last is important: to Santa, science is NEVER settled.

I go Republican, but definitely able to reach across the aisles, especially to deliver nasty, dirty, old coal to the Demoncrats.

Can we do Krampus now? :D

I’m the Santa Claus in this house, and I voted for Trump. Twice.

Things change. Not so long ago a guy in a red suit with a beard smoking something in a pipe would be an obvious commie, but that red suit now says MAGA on it, so I dunno. I blame the media.

Among Democrats, 62% think he would support the Democratic Party.

Well that's just stupid.

If Santa were a Democrat, he would go down chimneys and steal toys from some kids, then give those toys to other kids of his choosing, based on their skin color and/or whether their parents had donated to the SantaPAC.

Santa is surely a Republican whose rising tide floats ALL boats.

From the past:

Why do you sit there so strange?
Is it because you are beautiful?
You must think you are deranged
Why do police guys beat on peace guys?

You must think Santa Clause weird
He has long hair and a beard
Giving his presents for free
Why do police guys mess with peace guys?

Let’s get Santa Clause cause
Santa Clause has a red suit
He’s a Communist
And a beard and long hair
Must be a pacifist
What’s in the pipe that he’s smoking?
Mister Clause sneaks in your home at night
He must be a dope fiend, to put you up tight
Why do police guys beat on peace guys?

Damn Right he is! Married to a Women! Owns a business! Doesn’t hire illegals. Keeps his employees happy so they never go on strike! Retired but still works his favorite charity once a year.
