CMV: The United States will never have mandated paid time off like other Western Nations in our lifetime

I feel that it's something most Americans probably want but feel it's not practical for most to protest for.  Most countries in Europe get 4 to 6 weeks paid vacation plus around 10 paid holidays.  In the United States, employers are required to provide zero paid days off.  It seems most Americans are more worried about gay marriage, abortion, immigration, and other trivial matters that less directly affect them than getting paid time off work.  

I'd imagine if the issue is ever brought up in legislation, conservatives and lobbyists would scream socialism and tie mandated vacation as a full fledged support of communism.  The average worker would probably then be outraged at the idea of guarantee paid vacation as unpatriotic and Un-American.  I just can't see this changing anytime in my life, hopefully someone can prove me wrong.

It is not that unlikely.  
Just a while ago, 15$ dollar minimum wage was considered fantasy and yet it happened in multiple states.  Some firms already offer paid time off, as well.   
US has deep capitalist roots and therefore more engaged in the social, but especially now in a period of extended low unemployment, firms will compete with better working conditions and that includes things such as this. From there, lobbying for state-wide paid time off is just a step away.  
Mind you, it is not just employees that would lobby for this; its in the interest of companies - both those willing to attract more employees and those willing to keep them and compete with other firms on equal footing.
