how about this. All of us send a small bottle of Ketchup to Mar-a-lago (via the USPS for extra laughs) Could you imagine the shit fit tantrum Trump would have, with USPS tractor trailer after tractor trailer dumping the load of ketchup packages off on the lawn of Mar-A-Lago....
Use a return address of his supporters and wealthy donors so the can't NOT open them....

Doonesbury, back in days of HW's "occupation" of the White House declared that he had a residence in Texas, despite him not owning any real estate what-so-ever in the State of Florida. The Governor sent a statement to Washington D.C., telling them HW had a residence in Texas and therefore DC couldn't collect their State Income Tax????? from Bush.

Doonesbury published a coupon in his cartoon, that readers all over the U.S. could send to the Governor or Texas, proclaiming they too wanted the same tax exemption???? that he granted Bush.........Over the next week, like 250,000 of them were sent to the Texas Governors's office.

Large mail bags after mail bags, were unloaded on the Governor's office.......It was reported in all the news and it was hysterically funny.

Perhaps, when we are upset about something, we should do the same. Not send emails that they can just push a button the Republicans can delete in masse.......And, not phone calls that they can just not answer.

Actual letters, by the Millions, from the 80+ million Biden Voters , sent by USPS of course (to help out those workers and their Postal Employees Union.......)

We need to get down and dirty to match their tactics.....and have some fun while we are at it......LOL
