Has President Trump’s promise to “Make Christmas Great Again” pushed hardcore leftists into becoming an angry horde of Scrooges? The latest op-ed from feminist Amanda Marcotte of Salon, titled “How Donald Trump ruined Christmas,” indicates that might be the case.

Even though Christmas was never “of great importance” to Marcotte, she admits that the holiday at least carried some level of meaning to her over the years. What little enthusiasm she had for the holiday, however, has all but evaporated in the age of Trump, who “ruins everything he touches.” As an atheist, Marcotte never appreciated the holiday’s religious roots, but she at least appreciated the time of “the nation coming together in the spirit of joy and generosity.” Even that, Marcotte claims, no longer holds sway over her.
