That is weird, because the real christians that I know don't even celebrate american christmas anymore, they actively campaign against it, since it is of course originally a pagan holiday.
That is trend that I have been noticing, but I don't live in all of america, just in the midwest. (I gotta say that caveat because other snowflakes here have complained that I do not have work and life experience in every single US state, so therefore my perspectives are inherently geographically limited.)
I live in the Midwest as well. Conservatives and Republicans have been making fun of the "Triggered" left and "Political correctness" for decades.
I also grew up a "Real Christian" and the "Trigger" was never Christmas but rather Xmas which was was always, largely mistakenly, as Christ being taken out of Christmas. I was however not allowed to celebrate Halloween which was indeed "Satan's Holiday". One year my two older brothers and I where allowed to dress up as a tooth paste, a tooth and a brush. Another, even more humiliating time I went to a church halloween party which my mother insisted on going to incase the church had been corrupted and I was a Bee and she was a leaf....we were beeleafers....
Again, in my experience the right tends to be comprised of blue collar working class and some uber rich people. These people generally are not "Triggered" by much and tend to make fun of "Snowflakes" that are. These are generally people that get their hands dirty and work and have little time to run around being "Offended" by people using this word or that.
In fact the entire "God, Guns and Country" seem to be the antithesis of what you seem to be seeing.
That being said I do think the entire country is spiraling in to "I'm a whiny little bitch" territory so maybe you're seeing early signs of things I'm not.
