That’s politicians everywhere. Otherwise a great take.

Similar to the American version of the novel A Clockwork Orange - where it omits the final chapter where Alex goes back to his old ways, but then feels that he's grown up past that and starts thinking about starting a family. Kubrick's film follows suit.

Transparent ploy for leniency. He has learned nothing

he would be an *excellent* christmas cabinet secretary. he understands the challenges christmas faces from christmas haters and can speak to them on their level

pisses me off especially the evil little towns that cage him for their christmas parades

you're a mean one, Mr Grinch
even babies want you dead
you've never brought home a woman because you're afraid you'll wet the bed
Mr Griiiinch!

He’s got quite advanced CHF now. May not make it through the whole term.

Same with Scrooge

If anything, mean old Mr. Potter would probably be a better fit.

Scrooge isn’t a compliment either you Scrooge!

Same thing with Scrooge. Everyone's so mean to him but he changed!

Liberals always makes the lowest effort unfunny jokes I don't think they think twice about it but you're very right nontheless

I blame the media smear campaign that hounded him throughout his term (aka an awesome diss track sung by his ex - Tony the Tiger)

I had the same thought when my parents’ local police station locked the Grinch up on Christmas Eve.

The man was literally Cheermeister. That’s qualified.

Darth Vader is seen as the epitome of evil yet he becomes the good guy by end of episode 6.

Also Christmas being the holiday he ruined was incidental. If the Whos were being noisy inconsiderate assholes about Halloween he would've stolen their candy and Home Depot skeletons instead, I don't think his problem was with Christmas specifically.
