What can we do? An idea.

Every time Trump says or does something offensive or embarrassing, we send a donation to a Democratic get out the vote organization. Think if "send her home" had raised $25M to register voters in swing states. Maybe we don't want him to be careful but I don't think he is capable.

At least I would feel like I am pushing back in a positive way.

Idea originally from Tom Friedman, not one of my favorite people but I liked the idea.

Does anyone know of an organization we could donate to?

but I'm thinking Move On might be too broad.

I'm sure there are orgs out there just doing registration right now.

Or is there a better use? Just send to the Dems and let them decide?
