That’s one of the fundamental strategies from the trump playbook: just claim the people want something and if it’s repeated loud and often enough, people will start to believe it. Hopefully not for something as egregious as this, but it has worked in the past.

I’d love a few floating “celebrate your bullshit when you choose” days instead.

Not from US, but I’d love to see mine and other multicultural countries have a box to tick when you get a job for what set of cultural holidays you want. No change forms those who celebrate Christmas and Easter (either religiously or traditional cultural reasons), and gives other cultures a chance to enjoy their holidays.

All he has to do is to climb on a truck once and half of the country will believe he is a regular Joe. Critical thinking has left the building.
