My dad voted for Trump; help me troll him

A gift membership to the ACLU? Maybe subscriptions to The New Republic or Mother Jones? Or some other publications?

I plan on donating money in his name to Act Blue every month; I just want him to know that I am doing it. I'd sign him up for lots of email lists but that usually requires confirming email addresses.

So any other ideas? I won't visiting for the foreseeable future; I have nothing to say to him. Voting for Trump makes you a bad person even if you disagree with things he has done.

On a more serious note, different generation. Doesn’t make it any better but if that’s your only issue with him....

As a sustaining member of the local affiliate. Bonus is that almost all of these organizations sell their lists to similar ones, so he'll get a mailbox full.

I have a MAGAt in my immediate family. Tomorrow, there will be a floor model black sympathy wreath going to his front porch while he's at work. Was it worth the money? Oh, without a doubt. 😜

I was thinking about donating to Biden's Inaugural Committee (assuming they take donations).

... and help decide two Senate elections in GA, and thus, possibly, who controls the Senate.

I can't tell from their Web page if there's a way to ask them to send an ack to your dad.

ETA: The chaos created by 45 has driven the price of gold up to a new record. I think I'm going to sell two coins I've inherited (from my dad, who wasn't a tRumper, but was kind of a turd) and send all the gain to FairFight.

Keep the peace and be the better person. My Dad is a Trump lover. Watching him agonize right now is enough for me.

Don't see him, fine... one has to do what they have to do.

But this strange need to troll him is unnecessary self-flagellation.
