I mean, look! Christmas has practically disappeared from the cultural landscape! It has to fight back from the few hiding places it has left.

These RWing IDIOTS cried wolf so much, that nobody wants to listen about CTs now. Is there nothing the GOP cannot take and destroy? I've never seen such self-destructive people.
