With America’s month long intravenous overdose on all things Christmas incoming, I thought we’d talk about the far-right’s favorite catch phrase that they dust off every year in December. The unstoppable, the delicious and the notorious, “War on Christmas!”

Just so you and I are clear, this isn’t a thing. It’s just not. It’s fictional angst against (insert organization/ group here) to drive views towards Fox News and Breitbart. It’s something for rich white people to be angry about so they can continue to ignore institutional racism.

Much like Santa Claus himself, this war is a fantasy used to trick the tremendously stupid.

Multiple major religious/cultural holidays fall in December and to pretend that Christians deserve preferential treatment is toxic and amoral. It’s a societal poison that drags everyone down. Please, end the use of this rallying cry.

The reality of the situation is that America is a country of diversity.

An amalgamation of uniquely different cultures and religious/moral belief systems drive what makes America great.

And the American government can’t pick favorites when it comes to religion. If I remember right, you can find that in the American Constitution. You know, one of the most important written documents in history. I believe the exact phrase is something along the lines of, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...”

So, yeah, there’s that.

Ignoring all common sense, you might actually believe that there is actively a war on Christmas.

I mean, you’re wrong, but you could still believe it because you have that right.

There’s no empirical evidence for a war on Christmas. It’s a fallacy dreamed up to discriminate and divide. Which, as we all know, is great television. Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly would surely die of grief and misery if they didn’t get to participate in the war on all other religions during December.

I will gladly change my viewpoint if someone could show me how the government or some other mysterious entity is waging a battle against Christian’s ability to recognize the birth of Jesus Christ. Please, send me that information.

It’s objectively hard to understand this right-wing rallying cry. You’d think a religion that preaches peace, love and acceptance would be more peaceful, loving and accepting of different religions or cultures and their very real, fundamental right to freely practice.

I’m not saying all Christians or all Republicans are this way. That wouldn’t be fair. I’m talking specifically about the wackos that attempt to monopolize public religious practices during the month of December. As if their God somehow takes precedence over someone else’s when it gets cold.

I implore you to end this ridiculousness.

I’d love to live through one holiday season when “Happy Holidays!” isn’t seen as anything other than purely innocent and inclusive.

With so much hate in the world, so much death and poverty, and Supreme Leader Trump inching closer, can’t we all come together this year?
